Multi-Cloud File Management App for Drivey

Overview

Drivey is a multi-cloud file management application built for power users to better manage their files stored with popular cloud providers including Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, AWS, Sharepoint, and more. Experience a better user interface, easier file management, as well as advanced features such as moving files between providers, searching for files across connected accounts, file or folder encryption, and rolling backups. Drivey saves users time by making multi-cloud file management a breeze.

Challenges

One of Drivey’s biggest challenges was developing the backend functionality for the advanced drive functions, especially rolling backups. We also wanted to find a secure way to manage multiple accounts, allow logins with any account a user has added, and create a consistent user experience across many different providers with different API structures.

Solution

The application uses a combination of frontend and backend API integrations to provide both speed and execution of advanced cross-cloud asynchronous data processing. 

  • Drivey is available as a web application and a browser extension.
  • Our initial integrations include Dropbox Personal & Business, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Amazon S3, and have many more including Sharepoint and Box coming soon!
