Dropbox without the sync bloat.
Mount Dropbox Personal and Dropbox Business as native drives on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Stream files on demand, mount multiple accounts side by side, and skip the full-local-mirror that Dropbox's official client makes you live with.
— What you get
Real Dropbox access without the disk burn.
Stream files on demand.
No full sync. Dropbox files appear in Finder, Explorer, or your Linux file manager — but only the ones you actually open touch your local disk. A 5 TB Business account doesn't fill a 500 GB laptop.
Multiple accounts at once.
Mount a personal Dropbox and a Business account simultaneously, each as its own volume with its own nickname. Dropbox's own client maxes at one personal + one business — ExpanDrive has no limit.
OAuth security.
ExpanDrive never sees your Dropbox password. OAuth issues a revocable token; you can audit and revoke ExpanDrive's access from Dropbox's security settings at any time.
— vs Dropbox for Desktop
Where the official client falls short.
Dropbox's own desktop client is solid for single-user personal use. At Business scale, or for power users with multiple accounts, the model breaks down.
No multi-account ceiling.
Dropbox for Desktop runs one personal + one Business at a time. ExpanDrive supports as many accounts as you need, each on its own volume.
No sync conflicts.
Sync clients create conflict files when the same document changes in two places. ExpanDrive's stream-on-demand model writes directly to Dropbox — no local mirror to drift, no `(conflict)` filenames.
Real Linux support.
Dropbox for Linux exists but has limitations — and many distros aren't officially supported. ExpanDrive ships native .deb and .rpm packages with signed repositories. Mount Dropbox on every Linux distro you actually run.
