The "FREE" label is misleading! Although DriveMaker has a "freeware" version, it has limitations:

Session time limit. Sessions are closed automatically after about two hours.
Does not save your settings, you have to type/configure everything from scratch when you start it.
Does not offer secure and encrypted links to your FTP site via FTPS (TLS/SSL encrypted). DriverMaker Freeware allows only clear-text connections via plain FTP.
Does not start up automatically when you log on (minimized)
Does not allow you to encrypt files transparently.

Imho the first two limitations make the freeware version unusable.

According to alternative.net license policy, **"In general we think that if a free version of the app can perform the main purpose of the app without costing anything we think it's a "Free with limited functionality" app. A good example is Dropbox that works extremely well in the free version but if you want more storage / features you can pay them.

Apps with time limitations (fully usable for a certain time period only) or usage limitations (usable for a number of times) and so on should be set as Commercial." **
