Parallel transfers
Every protocol pools connections so multiple files move at once. SFTP adds per-file multi-stream transfers that adapt as throughput changes.
Eight protocols.
One Finder.
Driio is a file provider for SMB, NFS, SFTP, FTP, S3, WebDAV, OneDrive, and Dropbox. It runs on Apple's framework, so Spotlight, Quick Look, and the share sheet work like they would for any folder. No FUSE, no kernel extensions, no permission popups.
macOS 15.4 or later. iOS 18.4 or later. Universal purchase.
What's in the box
A short list of the things that took the longest to get right.
No relay servers
There's no Driio account. Credentials live in iCloud Keychain. Bytes go from your device straight to your server.
Built on the File Provider framework
No FUSE. No kexts. No "system extension blocked" popups. Spotlight, Quick Look, and the share sheet just work.
Per-connection tuning
Polling intervals, SFTP session counts, S3 multipart thresholds. Override the defaults if your network or server is unusual.
Activity dashboard
See uploads, downloads, and queued operations in real time. SMB and SFTP transfers respect Microsoft Office lock files.
iCloud sync
Add a connection on your Mac, it shows up on your iPhone. Passwords, SSH keys, and OAuth tokens sync via iCloud Keychain.
The protocols
One subscription, all eight. Notes below for what's worth knowing about each.
- SMB
- Windows shares, NAS devices, Samba servers. SMB2/3, with guest access and domain auth. Tested against Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, and Windows Server.
- SFTP
- Password or key auth. Ed25519 key generation built in. Adaptive multi-stream transfers tune themselves as bandwidth changes.
- NFS
- NFSv3 for Linux, BSD, and NAS exports. Connection pooling and optional UID/GID override for when your Mac user doesn't line up with the server.
- WebDAV
- HTTPS-friendly so it generally passes through firewalls. Works with Nextcloud, ownCloud, and most corporate intranets.
- FTP / FTPS
- Implicit (port 990) and explicit TLS. Active and passive modes. Useful for the long tail of legacy hosts that haven't moved on.
- S3
- AWS S3 plus anything compatible: MinIO, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces, Cloudflare R2. Multipart uploads for large files.
- OneDrive
- Microsoft Graph API with OAuth. The same surface that the official OneDrive clients use. Chunked uploads for files past 4 MB.
- Dropbox
- OAuth sign-in, no stored password. Real-time change detection via longpoll, with chunked large-file uploads.
