Features

Everything you need to work with the cloud like a local drive

Stream, sync and secure your storage — without buying per-seat licenses or surrendering your data.

Mount any driveCore

Turn Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, S3 and dozens more into a real folder on your machine — without downloading everything.

Zero-knowledge encryptionSecurity

Your files are encrypted before they ever leave your device. Not even FreeCloudMap can read what you store.

On-demand streaming

Open a 4K video or a 20 GB model file instantly. Content streams in the background only when you actually need it.

Two-way sync & conflict merge

Changes flow in both directions with smart conflict resolution, so your whole team stays on the same version.

Local caching & smart eviction

Frequently used files stay cached locally. Least-used data is evicted automatically to keep your disk free.

Works everywhere you doCross-platform

Native apps for Windows, macOS and Linux, plus a WebDAV gateway so it works on almost any operating system.

Open-source by designFoSS

100% free and open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. Audit every line, self-host, or just fork it.

Team workspaces

Shared mounts with granular permissions, audit logs and per-member quotas — built for business and classrooms.

How it works

Up and running in under a minute

Three steps between you and every cloud on your desktop.

01

Connect a provider

Add any cloud account in seconds using the guided connector. No port-forwarding, no exposed services, no config files to hand-edit.

fcm
$ fcm connect google-drive
✓ Authorized google-drive (you@example.com)
→ added to mount group "work"
02

Choose your mount

FreeCloudMap projects each cloud onto a native folder. Tune caching, encryption and streaming limits per mount — or keep the smart defaults.

fcm
$ fcm mount work --local-cache 20G --encrypt
✓ mounted work → ~/Cloud/work [20G cache, AES-256-GCM]
03

Use it like local storage

Open files, edit, sync, search — anything that works with folders just works. The map keeps your clouds in sync automatically.

fcm
$ open ~/Cloud/work/design/wireframes.fig
$ fcm status
✓ all mounts healthy · 1.2 GB synced · 0 conflicts
Why FreeCloudMap

The open alternative to proprietary mappers

Trusted by companies, schools & makers

From engineering teams to research labs to solo creators — everyone maps their clouds with FreeCloudMap.

We replaced a per-seat proprietary mapper across 400 engineers and our infra bill dropped to zero. FreeCloudMap just works, and the audit log keeps our security team happy.

I map my design portfolio across Drive and Dropbox and it feels like one local folder. Zero-knowledge encryption means I finally stopped worrying about what's sitting in the cloud.

We set up shared mounts for 12 research labs in an afternoon. No licenses to buy, no vendor meetings — our grant money goes to science, not software.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything you might want to know before you map your first cloud.

FreeCloudMap is a free, open-source cloud drive mapper. It turns your cloud storage — Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, S3 and more — into folders that appear right on your computer. You work with your clouds as if they were local, without paying per-seat licenses.

Yes. FreeCloudMap is built as a FoSS alternative to proprietary mappers like IAMCloud. There are no per-seat fees, no usage caps and no 'pro' paywalls — for individuals, for companies, and for classrooms. We fund development through optional enterprise support and donations.

By default, files are encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM before leaving it, so your cloud provider (and FreeCloudMap) can never read them. You control the keys. For teams that need shared access, keys are exchanged over end-to-end encrypted channels.

Absolutely. Because it's open source under the AGPL-3.0 license, you can run the coordinator on your own infrastructure, or even fully offline in air-gapped environments. Everything you need is in our docs.

Yes. We ship native apps for all three desktop platforms, a WebDAV gateway for anything else, and a headless CLI for servers and CI. Cross-platform is a first-class feature, not an afterthought.

Today: Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon S3, Box, Nextcloud, WebDAV, SFTP, iCloud and Backblaze B2 — with more being added by the community all the time. Custom providers can be built with the SDK.

We're a project funded by optional enterprise support contracts, managed hosting, and community donations. The software itself remains free and open source forever — that's our FoSS pledge.
