What is GoogleDriveSync?

GoogleDriveSync brings Google Drive syncing to your Mac the way it should be. Simple, reliable, and living right in your menu bar. No complex setup, no external dependencies, just sync your folders.

Why GoogleDriveSync?

Lightweight and Efficient

At just ~80MB (including the sync engine), GoogleDriveSync is 10x smaller than the official Google Drive app (~800MB). No bloat, no unnecessary background processes. Just the syncing you need.

Multiple Google Accounts, One Simple Interface

Sync folders across multiple Google Drive accounts without juggling credentials or switching profiles. Perfect for keeping work and personal files separate, or managing multiple clients.

Built for macOS

This isn't a cross-platform afterthought. It's a native Mac app designed to work the way Mac apps should. Lives in your menu bar, handles volume remounts gracefully, and just works.

Zero Configuration

No daemons to configure, no config files to edit, no terminal commands to memorize. Install, authorize, pick your folders, done.

Features

  • Flexible Folder Syncing: Sync as many local folders as you need to any path on Google Drive. Mix and match accounts and destinations however you want.

  • Multiple Google Accounts: Add and manage multiple Google Drive accounts simultaneously. Each folder can sync to a different account.

  • Smart Syncing: Powered by rclone for reliable, efficient transfers. Set automatic sync intervals from 15 minutes to daily, or trigger manual syncs whenever you need.

  • Handles the Quirks: Automatically detects when macOS remounts external volumes with different names (like /Volumes/Drive ? /Volumes/Drive-1) and keeps syncing without missing a beat.

  • Real-Time Feedback: Watch your sync progress live with transfer speeds, file counts, and completion status. Full error reporting when something goes wrong.

  • Auto Updates: Checks for updates on launch so you're always running the latest version.
