Best for basic cloud storage with 5 GB free
OpenDrive is cloud storage for syncing and sharing files, with 5 GB free. The paid prices shown in the app listing come without a billing period or storage amount, and the vendor's own site was behind a bot check, so we can't say much beyond that.
Who OpenDrive is for
- Fits if you want a small free cloud drive you can reach from an iPhone
- Works for sharing a few files with people who don't have an account
Who OpenDrive is not for
- Skip it if you want to know what a paid plan buys, since the listing gives no storage amounts or billing period
- Tight if you need more than 5 GB without paying
- Not for you if you need Android or a desktop app, as only iPhone and iPad are named
- Watch out: the vendor's own site and pricing page sat behind a bot check, so these prices may differ from the website
- Too light for anyone who wants listed integrations, as none are named
Why OpenDrive gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyThe US App Store lists Home at $49.99, Office at $149.99 and Pro at $249.99, but with no billing period or storage amount. Nothing can be compared with the category's middle of $7 a month.
- CFree plan and trial5 GB of cloud storage for free, per the App Store listing. That fills up fast.
- CFeaturesSync across devices, sharing, mobile access and list or grid views. The listing says little else, so what's covered beyond that is unclear.
- CEase of use4.7 on the App Store, but from only 43 ratings, which isn't enough to count. Install and sign in, with no setup noted.
- CPlatforms and integrationsThe listing names iPhone and iPad apps only. Computer and Android support wasn't confirmed, and no integrations are named.

Keep OpenDrive, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace OpenDrive you would be making files kept in step across devices without losing one. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 33 of the 45 other file storage and sync services grade higher.
What you could not
- Files kept in step across devices without losing one.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. OpenDrive’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
