FAQs

Is Drivebase truly free to use?

Yes, the core Drivebase application is open source (MIT licensed) and free forever. A 'Solo' plan is available for individuals with unlimited providers and one workspace, supporting local and five cloud drives. Paid plans unlock advanced features like E2E encryption and scriptable macros.

Does Drivebase sync files or stream them?

Drivebase streams files using native protocols like S3, WebDAV, and OAuth. This means files render instantly without requiring local duplication, saving disk space. You can choose to pin specific files or folders offline if needed for local access.

What operating systems does Drivebase support?

Drivebase provides native binaries for macOS (version 12 and newer), Windows (version 10 and newer), and Linux (x86_64 and arm64 architectures). All versions are built from the same Rust core, ensuring consistent performance and features across platforms.

How does Drivebase handle data privacy and security?

Drivebase prioritizes privacy by storing credentials in your OS keychain. It offers optional client-side AES-256 encryption, ensuring that your file contents are never visible to Drivebase servers. Telemetry is also turned off by default, giving users control over their data.

Can Drivebase be automated for repetitive tasks?

Yes, Drivebase is fully scriptable. It supports TypeScript-flavored macros, shell hooks, and a command-line interface (CLI). These automation features run within the same robust transfer engine, allowing for complex, resilient operations like nightly S3-to-local mirrors.
