What is Driveless?
A drive that lives in the cloud and behaves like it is on your device. It appears next to your other drives, holds terabytes, and uses none of your disk. Files open the moment you click them, and every change is on every device you own within seconds. There is a longer explanation in What is Driveless?
How is it different from the cloud drives I already have?
They sync: they copy whole files onto your disk before you can open them, so your device fills up anyway and big files mean long waits. Driveless streams: your files stay in the cloud and open directly, as if they were local. Nothing downloads first.
Does it really take no space?
Yes. A 2 TB library shows at 2 TB and takes 0 KB of your disk. The app streams what you are looking at straight from the cloud; nothing is copied into your folders.
What happens when I run out of space?
You do not. Add a terabyte whenever you need one and drop it any month. The drive is never full — that is the point.
Which devices does it work on?
Desktop — Mac, Windows and Linux. Phone — iPhone and Android, before March 2027. It is one engine; every device is a front door onto the same drive.
Do I need an internet connection?
Yes. Driveless streams direct from the cloud, like any streaming service. Before a flight you can mark a project to keep with you; everything else is simply there whenever you are online.
Will it work with my existing apps?
Yes. Driveless is a real drive, so anything that opens a file works — editors, photo tools, office apps, the file manager. Existing projects keep their paths; nothing needs relinking.
Is my stuff safe?
Every file is encrypted before it leaves your device and stored as three copies. Nothing is deleted immediately: the trash keeps 30 days and every save is a version. If Driveless disappeared tomorrow, your files are still plain files in a storage bucket you could read without us.
Where is my data stored?
In the region you choose when you set up your drive, close to where you are. Teams that must keep files inside one country can ask for that, and it stays there.
How much does it cost?
Free for 20 GB with no card. Individual is 1 TB for one person on all their devices. Team pools 1 TB per member with shared folders and permissions. Enterprise is priced per terabyte. Prices are set in US dollars until the January 2027 launch — the price of a streaming subscription — and annual plans get two months free. The full table is on the pricing page.
What does Driveless cost?
Individual is 19 US dollars a month for 1 TB, Team is 49 per member, and extra storage is 5.99 for every 500 GB. Prices are in US dollars everywhere until the January 2027 launch, when local currency pricing arrives. Teams get their first three months free. Joining costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
When does Driveless launch?
Public launch is January 2027, on Mac, Windows and Linux. The beta is open now. The phone apps follow before March 2027. US and UK regions open later in 2027.
Can AI agents use Driveless?
Yes. It is a normal folder, so any agent or script that reads and writes files can work in it — inside its own project folder, with its own permissions, away from your personal files.
