— What you get

IDrive e2 buckets as drives.

Buckets mount as drives.

IDrive e2 buckets appear in Finder, Explorer, or your Linux file manager. Open files in any app, save directly back to e2. No upload step.

S3-compatible API.

Same connection setup as Amazon S3. Bucket-scoped mounts, sub-path scoping, ACL awareness — everything the S3 connector does, against IDrive e2.

Region-locked endpoints.

Each IDrive e2 user is provisioned to a specific region with a region-specific endpoint URL. Your access keys are scoped to that region — the Server field must match.

— Cross-platform

IDrive e2 on every OS.

macOS

Apple File Provider extension. Buckets appear in Finder. Apple Silicon native.

Windows

User-selectable drive letter per bucket. Signed MSI installer.

Linux

Native .deb / .rpm packages with signed apt and yum repositories. Buckets mount at standard Linux mount points.

— Common questions

Common questions about IDrive e2 on ExpanDrive.

Endpoints, access keys, regions, and what makes e2 different from the other S3-compatible clouds.

The endpoint URL specific to your IDrive e2 region. IDrive publishes the per-region endpoints in their e2 documentation. Your access keys are scoped to that endpoint — keys generated against one region won't work against another.
