ArcDrive for Mac and iPhone

Every drive,
searchable.

ArcDrive catalogs your external hard drives and SSDs, so you can find any file on any of them, even when the drive is in a drawer. Made for photographers, video editors and creatives who keep their work on lots of drives.

Free to download. For macOS 26 and iOS 26 or later.

It's live: click the search bar and try it.

Which drive is that job on?

ArcDrive answers it in seconds, and looks after your drives while it's at it.

Catalog every drive

Add it once, and it's known.

ArcDrive records every file and folder on a drive, and knows the drive again whenever it's plugged in, even if it shares a name with another. A folder can be added on its own, too.

Search while it's unplugged

The drive can stay in the drawer.

Find any file across every drive and see which one it's on. It all works offline, without plugging in six drives to look.

Narrow it down by size, date or file extension with Advanced Search.

Drive Check · Always free

Spot the warning signs early.

Warning signs that a drive may be failing, so you can copy your work off it in time. It looks at read and write errors, unreadable files, the connection, how full the drive is, its format, and how long since it was last plugged in.

It's not a full health test, so keep a backup of anything important.

Find duplicates

The same file stored more than once, on one drive or across many, and how much space they take up.

Clear creative-app caches

Render and media caches from your creative apps, on your Mac and wherever they've been moved on external drives.

See what's using the space

Space by drive and by kind of file, and the largest, oldest and newest files on each.

Keeps watch from the menu bar

With the window closed, ArcDrive carries on checking your drives, and a dot on its bolt shows when one needs a sync.

Safe by default

Your files are never changed without you.

Safe mode

The default. It only ever reads your drives, and never changes, moves or deletes anything.

Advanced mode

Can remove duplicates and clear caches, and always asks first, every time.
