Common questions

ExpanDrive vs Cloud Drive Mapper.

The questions buyers actually ask when they're choosing between us. Answered straight.

Cloud Drive Mapper is the specialist here. It's purpose-built for Microsoft 365 enterprise scale and explicitly designed to bypass the OneDrive sync client's ~300,000-item limit. If that single problem is the entire reason you're shopping, CDM is the right answer. ExpanDrive covers SharePoint as one of many supported services, not as its sole focus.

The platform behind the drive letter.

The cloud connectors mounting your drive on macOS, Windows, and Linux are the same ones that run on Files.com's high-performance cloud File Orchestration Platform — used by 4,000+ businesses including Equifax, Rag & Bone, Cognizant, and Michelin. None of the tools you might compare ExpanDrive against have anything like our team behind them.
