Mac only
DriveMyMac and the others
Built only for the Mac. Pay once, keep it. Your logins stay on your Mac. And it keeps getting better.
Other apps do this job well, and many also run on Windows or Linux. Here is how they sit next to DriveMyMac. Every figure for another app comes from that vendor’s own pages, read in October 2026. A dash means we could not confirm it there. Check the vendor for current terms.

The official apps
Google Drive for desktop and the Dropbox app are made by those services, run on macOS and Windows, and connect to their own service only. DriveMyMac is for when you use more than one storage, or one the official apps do not cover.
