See It In Action
Actual app window — a clean, native-feeling Google Drive client that runs from a single EXE.
Key Features
Everything you expect from a Google Drive client — browse, search, download, upload, share and sync — wrapped in a single portable EXE.
Multiple Google Accounts
Add and switch between accounts instantly; each keeps its own token, sign out individually.
Whole-Drive Search
Find any file by name across your entire Drive in seconds.
Flexible Downloading
Single or multi-file, as an unzipped folder tree or ZIP, with pause/resume and live progress.
Drag-and-Drop Upload
Upload files or whole folders recursively, with smart duplicate handling.
Google-Style Sharing
Share with Viewer, Commenter, Editor or Full access roles plus an "Anyone with the link" toggle.
Full File Management
Create folders, rename, copy, move, right-click context menu, and multi-select.
Trash & Recovery
Dedicated Trash view to restore, delete forever, or empty trash — fully recoverable.
Duplicate Finder
Find duplicate files by content (md5) or name, and move them to trash in one click.
Insync Folder Sync
Two-way sync between a local folder and a Drive folder with newest-mtime-wins conflict handling.
7 View Modes
Extra Large, Large, Medium, Small, List, Details, and Tiles — your choice is remembered.
Headless CLI
Script it with JSON output — --status, --list, --duplicates.
Secure OAuth 2.0
Official Google OAuth flow — your password is never seen by the app, tokens stored encrypted.

Quick Help
Windows says "Windows protected your PC"?
That's SmartScreen warning about a brand-new unsigned EXE — normal for a portable app. Click More info → Run anyway to open it.
How do I add another account?
Open the Accounts view from the sidebar and choose Add account. Sign in via the OAuth page — each account keeps its own encrypted token.
Can't drag-and-drop files from Explorer?
Use Run as Administrator from the sidebar. Elevation lets the app capture drag-and-drop that Explorer normally blocks.
Does it store my password?
No. It uses Google's official OAuth 2.0 flow — your password is never seen by the app, and tokens are stored encrypted on your machine.
Loved by early testers
A real Google Drive client that's portable, clean, and private — no install, no clutter.
