# Driveflow

Whole Drive folders. Full speed. No ZIP pile-up.

Chrome splits big Google Drive downloads into slow multi-part archives. Driveflow streams whole folders straight to any disk — native Mac app for Apple Silicon.

## What it is

Driveflow is a native macOS application. You sign in with Google (read-only `drive.readonly`), browse My Drive / Shared drives / Shared with me, pick folders or files, choose a disk, and download. Files stream straight to disk. OAuth tokens stay in Driveflow’s Application Support folder on your Mac; sign out clears them.

## Pricing

- **$29 one-time** for the signed Mac build via [https://usedriveflow.app/api/checkout](https://usedriveflow.app/api/checkout)
- Free if you [build from GitHub](https://github.com/aaronte/driveflow) and maintain it yourself

## Platform

- Apple Silicon only (M1 and newer)
- macOS 14+
- Not supported: Intel Macs

## FAQ

### 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?

Same features either way. Buy is $29 one-time — you get the Mac app ready to download and install, plus email support. Building from GitHub is free — you set it up and maintain it yourself.

### 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.
