Driio vs RemoteDisk

Driio brings professional-grade remote file access to your iPhone and iPad. Connect to SMB shares, SSH/SFTP servers, FTP servers, WebDAV drives, Amazon S3 buckets, and Dropbox — all right in the Files app. NATIVE FILES APP INTEGRATION Your remote servers appear directly in the iOS Files app alongside iCloud Drive and other providers. Browse, copy, move, and manage files with the same gestures and tools you already know. SYNCS WITH YOUR MAC Set up your connections once on Mac or iPhone and they appear everywhere. Driio syncs connections, credentials, and SSH keys across all your devices via iCloud Keychain. Per-device controls let you disable connections that don't make sense on the go — like that office NAS you can only reach from your desk. SIX PROTOCOLS, ONE APP • SMB — Windows shares, NAS devices (Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS), and Samba servers • SSH/SFTP — Secure shell access with password or Ed25519 key authentication • FTP — Classic file transfer for legacy servers and web hosting • WebDAV — Nextcloud, ownCloud, and web hosting. Works through firewalls • S3 — Amazon S3 and compatible storage (MinIO, Backblaze B2, Wasabi) • Dropbox — Real-time change detection and chunked uploads PARALLEL TRANSFER ENGINE Upload and download files faster with multi-stream transfers. Driio automatically optimizes connections based on your server and network conditions. SECURE BY DEFAULT • Credentials stored in iCloud Keychain — synced and encrypted end-to-end • SSH key generation built-in • No analytics or tracking • Direct connections only — your data never touches our servers SMART ON-DEVICE FEATURES • Internal network detection flags connections that need local Wi-Fi • Error history shows recent issues per connection so you can troubleshoot fast • Enable or disable connections per device to keep your Files app clean FLEXIBLE PRICING One subscription covers both Mac and iOS. • 7-day free trial • $1.99/month • $14.99/year • $39.99 lifetime (one-time purchase) Whether you're pulling a file from your NAS while away from home, accessing cloud storage on the go, or managing servers from your phone, Driio makes remote files feel local — on every Apple device you own. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdasla/

RemoteDisk turns any S3-compatible bucket or SFTP server into a native drive inside the iOS Files app. Browse, open, edit, and share your remote files from any app that supports Files — no separate viewer, no copy-paste workflow. Built natively for iOS 17+ with SwiftUI and Apple's File Provider framework, RemoteDisk feels like iCloud Drive for your own storage. — SUPPORTED BACKENDS — • Amazon S3 • Cloudflare R2 • Backblaze B2 • DigitalOcean Spaces • MinIO (self-hosted) • Wasabi, Storj, and any S3-compatible endpoint • SFTP servers (password authentication) — FILES APP INTEGRATION — Every connection appears as a drive in the Files app. Tap a file to stream it, long-press to pin it offline, or drag it between connections. Works with Preview, Markup, Quick Look, and every third-party app that reads from Files. — SMART SYNC — • On-demand streaming — files download only when opened • Pin files and folders for guaranteed offline access • Conflict detection with configurable strategies: server wins, local wins, keep both, or manual resolution • LRU cache eviction keeps your device from filling up • Background refresh keeps metadata current — CELLULAR-AWARE — Set per-connection policies for cellular data: block sync on cellular, cap file sizes, or allow everything. Never worry about a 2 GB upload draining your plan. — SHARE SHEET UPLOADS — Send files to a RemoteDisk connection from any app via the iOS share sheet. Upload photos, PDFs, documents, or anything else directly to the destination folder you choose. — SECURITY FIRST — • Credentials stored in the iOS Keychain, never in plain text • Shared keychain access group so extensions authenticate without re-entering secrets • No telemetry, no analytics, no third-party servers — your data goes only between your device and your storage — POWER USER FEATURES — • Custom endpoint URLs for self-hosted deployments • Multiple connections to the same provider with different credentials — LOCALIZATION — Full English and Simplified Chinese support with in-app language switching. — WHO IT'S FOR — • Developers who keep assets in R2 or S3 and want to edit them on iPad • Photographers backing up to B2 or Wasabi who need to preview shots on the go • Homelab users with MinIO or a self-hosted server exposed via SFTP • Anyone who wants their own storage to feel as native as iCloud
