Two panels, mixed freely
Each panel — and each tab — picks its own source. Local on the left, Drive on the right, or two Google accounts side by side. Swap them, link their browsing, save the layout as a workspace.
For macOS 14 Sonoma and later
Two panels.
Every drive.
DriveManager is a dual-panel file manager for the Mac, in the Total Commander tradition. Put a local folder next to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, an SFTP server or an S3 bucket, and copy between them with one key.

What it does
Everything a power user expects,
built natively for the Mac.
Copy between anything
F5 and F6 copy and move between any two sources as background jobs: a queue, speed limits, retry rules, optional checksum verification and an Activity Log that remembers every job.
Built for the keyboard
F3 view, F5 copy, F7 new folder, Space to mark, type to jump. A command palette (⇧⌘P) reaches every command, and every shortcut can be changed in Settings.
Views for everything
F3 opens a fast viewer for the file under the cursor: text and hex of any size, PDF, images with EXIF, video (MKV and WebM too), Markdown, HTML, SQLite, plists, disk images, installer packages and app bundles.
Archives as folders
Step into ZIP, 7z, RAR, tar, ISO and more like ordinary folders — even on a remote server. Create ZIPs with AES-256 passwords, add to them, extract with ⌥F9.
Git, compare and sync
Git status badges, commit, history, fetch, pull and push right in the panel. Compare two files line by line or two images side by side, and sync folders one-way or two-way across any sources.
Search every source
Find files by name, content, kind, size and date — in a folder, a whole drive, all your Google accounts or every source at once. Save searches and run them again with one key.
Rename in bulk
Multi-Rename (⌃M) applies an ordered list of rules — masks, replace, case, counters — with a live preview, presets and Undo, on every source.
Make it yours
Themes from the Mac-native look to classic Midnight Commander blue, light and dark and Increase Contrast, three densities, Commander or Finder style per panel, List, Brief and Thumbnails views, tabs and saved workspaces.
A closer look
Real screenshots, no mock-ups.
Taken from the app with a made-up “Studio Nova” folder. Click a shot to enlarge it.
Marked files in the left panel, photos as thumbnails on the right. The active panel is always unmistakable.
Keyboard first
Your hands stay on the keys.
If you grew up with Norton, Total or Midnight Commander, you already know DriveManager. The function-key bar at the bottom shows what each key does; on a Mac keyboard, ⌘3–⌘8 work as F3–F8 too.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is it a subscription?
No. DriveManager costs €10 on the Mac App Store, paid once through your Apple account.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
Why does it ask me to choose folders?
DriveManager runs in Apple’s App Sandbox, so it can only see folders you grant it once with the standard Open dialog. Grants are remembered across launches. You can optionally give it Full Disk Access in System Settings, but nothing needs it.
Which cloud services and servers can I use?
Google Drive (any number of accounts, shared drives included), Dropbox, OneDrive and SharePoint, WebDAV (Nextcloud, ownCloud, Synology…), SFTP, FTP and FTPS, Amazon S3 and S3-compatible storage (Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, MinIO), SMB and AFP shares, and iCloud Drive.
Do Dropbox and OneDrive need anything extra?
Yes: both connect through your own free developer app registration (a Dropbox app key, or a Microsoft Entra app ID), which you enter once in Settings → Accounts. Google Drive needs no setup.
Does it replace Finder?
It works next to Finder. Files drag and drop between them, Show in Finder is one click away, and Quick Look (⌘Y) works as usual.
Is my data sent anywhere?
Only to the services you connect yourself. DriveManager has no analytics, no tracking and no account with us.
Which languages does it speak?
English and Hungarian. The language follows your Mac, and can be changed in Settings.
