01 / What you get
A Mac download for Drive — not a browser scavenger hunt.
Sign in, browse My Drive or Shared drives, pick an internal or external disk, and let multi-threaded transfers use the bandwidth you already pay for. Pause, resume, and skip files that are already there. No ZIP reassembly.
02 / How it works
Sign in. Browse. Choose a disk. Download.
01
Sign in with Google
Connect the Drive account that holds your files. Read-only access — Driveflow never uploads.
02
Browse folders
Navigate My Drive, Shared drives, and Shared with me. Multi-select files or whole trees.
03
Pick a destination
Internal disk or external drive. Progress, pause, resume, and skip files that are already there.
03 / Built to finish
A real Mac app — built to use your full connection.
Parallel downloads pull as fast as your Wi‑Fi allows. Quit mid-transfer and the queue picks up where it left off. Google Docs land as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint automatically.
04 / Pricing
Buy the signed build, or build your own on GitHub.
Buy
The ready-to-run Mac app — installs cleanly, and you get email support if you need help. Checkout with the same Google email you will use to sign in.

Build on GitHub
Clone the repo and build your own version for free. Open source — you handle signing and updates yourself.
Build on GitHub05 / FAQ
Straight answers
- Does this work on Intel Macs?
- No. Driveflow targets Apple Silicon (M1 and newer) on macOS 14+.
- Will Google warn that the app is unverified?
- Until Google’s OAuth verification finishes, yes — for accounts not on the test-user list. We’re pursuing verification; the privacy policy on this site is part of that process.
- Is my Drive data private?
- Driveflow uses read-only Drive access. Tokens stay in Driveflow’s Application Support folder on your Mac. Sign out clears them. See the privacy policy.
- What’s the difference between buy and build?
- Features match. Buy gets a signed, notarized app and email support. Build on GitHub is free — you compile it yourself and handle macOS signing.
- Which email should I use at checkout?
- Use the Google Drive account email you will sign in with. Your license is tied to that address.
