About StableBit CloudDrive

StableBit CloudDrive creates a virtual hard drive that Windows treats like a real disk. The actual data is stored with a provider you choose. Options include Amazon S3 and S3-compatible services, Backblaze B2, Box, Cloudflare R2, Dropbox, Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure Storage, OneDrive for Business, Wasabi, FTP, a file share or a local disk.

Data can be encrypted with AES-256 using a key only you know. An adaptive cache keeps the data you use most often on the local machine, with prefetching and metadata pinning to speed up access.

Strengths

  • Cloud storage appears as an ordinary local drive
  • Supports many storage providers, including any S3-compatible service
  • Optional AES-256 encryption with a key only you hold
  • Local caching of frequently used data

Limitations

  • Windows only
  • Paid software
  • Access speed depends on the connection to the cloud provider

Alternatives to StableBit CloudDrive

Compare all

Software that can replace StableBit CloudDrive for an important use case, and what changes if you switch.

  • ExpanDrive

    Mounts cloud storage and file servers as native drives on macOS, Windows and Linux.

    ExpanDrive runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and is free for personal use, but it streams files on demand rather than offering encrypted local caching.

  • NetDrive

    A program that mounts cloud and remote storage as a local drive on Windows and macOS.

    NetDrive mounts remote storage as a drive on Windows and macOS with file locking and a team plan, though it does not list AES-256 encryption.

  • RaiDrive

    Maps cloud storage and remote servers as drives in Windows File Explorer or a Linux file manager.

    RaiDrive maps many cloud and S3-compatible providers as drive letters on Windows and Linux, with a freemium model instead of a paid license.

  • CloudMounter

    A desktop app that mounts cloud storage accounts as local drives in Finder and Explorer.

    CloudMounter mounts Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and Amazon S3 as drives on Windows and macOS, using a freemium model rather than a paid license.

  • Rclone

    A command line tool that syncs, copies and mounts files across more than seventy cloud storage services.

    Rclone is free, open source and cross-platform, mounting remotes with client-side encryption, but it works from the command line and needs WinFsp on Windows.

  • RcloneView

    A graphical file manager built on rclone for browsing, syncing and mounting cloud storage.

    RcloneView adds a graphical interface to rclone, with free mounting and client-side encryption through rclone Crypt on Windows, macOS and Android.

  • CryFS

    An encrypted filesystem that protects files stored in cloud storage, including their metadata and folder structure.

    CryFS encrypts files and folder structure inside a normal cloud sync folder on macOS and Linux, rather than creating a virtual drive, and is open source.
