OneDrive without the full sync.
Mount personal Microsoft OneDrive as a native drive on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Stream files on demand, no terabyte-sized local mirror, and the only real OneDrive client for Linux.
— What you get
OneDrive that doesn’t fill your SSD.
Mounted in Finder and Explorer.
OneDrive appears as a native volume on every OS. Files open in any app — Office, Photoshop, Adobe apps, IDEs — and save back to OneDrive directly.
Stream on demand.
No full sync. The official OneDrive client tries to mirror everything; ExpanDrive streams files only when you open them and caches what you actually use.
OAuth, never your password.
Sign in via Microsoft's OAuth flow. ExpanDrive never sees your Microsoft password. Tokens are revocable from your Microsoft account settings at any time.
— Cross-platform
OneDrive on every OS your team runs.
macOS
Apple File Provider extension. OneDrive appears in Finder and ~/Library/CloudStorage. Apple Silicon native.
Windows
User-selectable drive letter per account. Signed MSI for fleet deployment.
Linux
The only first-class OneDrive desktop access on Linux. Native .deb / .rpm packages with signed apt and yum repositories.
— vs the OneDrive client
Where the official client falls short.
Microsoft's OneDrive client is fine for single-user, single-account use on Mac and Windows. Three gaps it doesn't close — and ExpanDrive does.
- No Linux client at all. Microsoft does not ship a OneDrive client for Linux. ExpanDrive runs natively on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, RHEL, and more — and mounts OneDrive at a standard Linux mount point.
- Full-sync is the default. The OneDrive client wants to mirror your entire OneDrive locally (until you mark folders as cloud-only — a per-folder configuration). ExpanDrive flips the default: files stay in the cloud until you open them.
- One account at a time. The OneDrive client supports one personal account + one work/school account. ExpanDrive mounts multiple accounts at once, each as its own volume.
— Microsoft ecosystem
OneDrive and the rest of your Microsoft 365.
If you use OneDrive for Business or SharePoint, mount them all simultaneously — each as its own labeled drive.
OneDrive for Business
Mount OneDrive for Business and Microsoft 365 as a native drive on macOS, Windows, and Linux - separate connector from consumer OneDrive, with tenant SSO and Conditional Access.
SharePoint
Map SharePoint as a network drive on Mac, Windows, or Linux - access your Microsoft 365 files directly from any application.
Dropbox
Access and manage your Dropbox files as a network drive on any OS - no sync required, full read/write access.
Google Drive
Access Google Drive files directly from Finder, Explorer, or any application - mounted as a fast network drive with ExpanDrive.
