About JRDrive

Short description

JRDrive is rclone in a native app: browse, stream, sync and encrypt Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, S3, SFTP, SMB, WebDAV, your NAS and dozens more on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro, Android and Windows.

Boilerplate

JRDrive puts the open-source rclone engine behind a native interface on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro, Android and Windows. It connects directly to more than 40 kinds of storage, from Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3 and Backblaze B2 to SFTP, SMB, NFS and WebDAV servers and home NAS boxes, with no account and no JRDrive servers in between. Users can stream MKV, HEVC and 4K video with subtitles straight from their storage, turn media folders into a library with artwork, run one-way and two-way sync jobs, back up their camera roll, and keep files private with rclone crypt client-side encryption behind a per-remote PIN. People who already use rclone on a computer can import their rclone.conf and find their remotes ready. JRDrive is developed independently by Jay Pathak and launched in 2026.
