🔍 What is aDrive Desktop?

aDrive Desktop is a new desktop integration tool that helps you work smarter by combining local file access with the power of the cloud.
Key features:

📁 Smarter Syncing

Take control of bandwidth and storage with selective sync options:

  • 🔁 Sync File Content (2-Way) – Keeps files updated both locally and in the cloud
  • 🗂️ Sync File Structure Only (2-Way) – Downloads folder structure only; files on demand
  • ☁️ Sync to Cloud (1-Way) – Upload local changes only
  • 🚫 No Sync – Exclude folders from syncing entirely
💡 Ideal for large projects or working with limited storage or bandwidth.
