How DriveVault Works
A simple, privacy-first workflow designed for working with lots of external drives.
Scan your drives
Connect each drive once and scan it in DriveVault. Choose Full Scan to generate offline image previews and rich metadata, or Quick Scan for near-instant cataloguing of very large drives. Everything happens locally in a fast, native macOS-style interface.
Search everything instantly
Use powerful global search across your entire drive library to find files and folders in seconds. Search by filename, folder name, or full path and DriveVault will surface exactly where the file lives - even when the drive is unplugged.
Use Pro Tools
Use DriveVault's advanced features like comparing backup drives, generating detailed reports, sharing drive libraries with other users, and creating structured folder templates to your drives. DriveVault's powerful features are simple to use, but built for professionals.
Plug yourself in
Browse your offline hard drives visually, in a beautiful, MacOS-style window
Generate offline image previews for your files so you can instantly recognise footage, photos, and other assets at a glance. DriveVault lets you browse visually, even when the original hard drive is no longer connected.
One scan. Permanent access.
Plug in a drive, hit scan, and DriveVault captures everything - file names, folder structures, metadata, and thumbnail previews for images and videos. Use Full Scan for visual browsing with rich metadata, or Quick Scan to catalogue even massive drives in seconds. Your files stay private. Nothing leaves your Mac.
Find any file in seconds - across every drive
Looking for that shoot from three years ago? Type a few letters in the menu bar and DriveVault surfaces it instantly - no need to open the app, no need to plug anything in. Filter by file type, date, size, or metadata to zero in on exactly what you need.
Know your backups actually worked
Select two drives and DriveVault instantly compares them - file by file. See exactly what's missing from the smaller drive and where those files live on the larger one. No more hoping your backup is complete. Get a detailed report that shows the truth.
Group drives the way your brain works
Drag drives into Projects and organise them however makes sense to you - by client, by year, by shoot, by vibe. When you've got dozens of drives, structure is everything. DriveVault makes it effortless.
See the big picture
How much storage do you actually have? Where is it all going? Library Stats breaks down your entire archive - total capacity, space used, file types, and more. Finally understand what you're working with across every drive you own.
Share your archive with your team
Export your library - or just specific drives - and send it to a colleague. They'll see everything you see: folder structures, previews, metadata, search. One person scans. Everyone benefits. No cloud required.
Light. Dark. Glass. Your call.
Three beautiful themes to match your setup and your mood.
DriveVault looks right at home on any Mac.
