How it works

Better Project Management

We understand that keeping track of projects spread across different hard drives can be a hassle. DriveSyncer is all about making things simple for you, so you can spend less time searching and more time doing what you do best. Let's walk through how DriveSyncer can clear up the clutter and keep your projects at your fingertips.

Step 1

Sign Up

Begin your journey to effortless data management. Sign up for DriveSyncer and prepare to transform how you interact with your external hard drives.

Step 2

Install the DriveSyncer Toolbar

Download and install the DriveSyncer application on your macOS system. It integrates smoothly, placing a convenient icon in your top bar for easy access.

STEP 3

Connect and Sync

Whenever you connect a new external drive, DriveSyncer gently notifies you with the option to sync. With your confirmation, it will efficiently snapshot your drive’s main and secondary folder structures – cataloging only the names, not the files themselves, for your privacy and security.

Note: when snapshotting a drive for the first time, login first and then reconnect the already connected drives that you want to snapshot.

Step 4

Customize Your Preferences

Head over to the settings tab to specify which disks should be excluded from syncing. Tailor the application to fit your unique workflow and needs.

STEP 5

Access Your Dashboard

Log in to your DriveSyncer dashboard from any web browser. Here, you'll find a clear, up-to-date overview of all synced volumes.
