How to install FileCloud MacDrive

FileCloud Drive versions below 22.1 do not support MacOS Ventura. If you are using MacOS Ventura, please install or upgrade to FileCloud Drive 22.1.

FileCloud Drive version 21.1 and higher supports Catalina and Big Sur.

Please note that for Drive running on Apple Silicon M1, Big Sur 11.3 or higher is required and security settings have to be adjusted.
See FileCloud Drive: Configuration for Big Sur 11.3 or later versions Running on Apple Silicon

Beginning in FileCloud Version 21.3, Drive installs into the folder Program Files instead of the folder Program Files(x86). 

To Install FileCloud MacDrive

  1. Install the FileCloud MacDrive application from this download.
