What it does
NetDrive mounts remote storage as a local drive and provides background uploads, file locking and team-drive management features.
NetDrive can publish a common drive configuration to a team, while each member uses their own credentials for the underlying storage. It supports background uploads and file locks, so saving locally and completing the remote update are separate stages. The official Mac setup guide adds a provider, signs in, sets a mount path and mounts it in Finder; read-only mode can prevent save, rename and delete actions. NetDrive 3.18 and later require macOS 14 or newer, and mounting may need a system-extension approval and restart. Trial, subscription and lifetime offers are documented separately.
