Prices change, so confirm with OpenDrive before buying. ## Key features - **Sync across devices:** The listing says documents sync between an iPhone, a computer and the OpenDrive website. - **File sharing:** Share files and presentations with colleagues, clients, friends and family, including large files. - **Mobile access:** Browse documents, photos and videos on iPhone or iPad, and stream stored music to the device. - **List and grid views:** A recent app update added list and grid layouts for files and folders. ## Good for - People who want a small free storage tier with an iPhone app - Households or offices that buy a storage plan through the App Store ## Worth knowing - The vendor's own site and pricing page sit behind a bot check, so prices here come from the US App Store listing and may differ from the website. - The listing shows plan prices without a billing period or storage amount. - The listing names only iPhone and iPad apps; computer and Android support was not confirmed. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: C.** The 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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** 5 GB of cloud storage for free, per the App Store listing. That fills up fast. - **Features: C.** Sync across devices, sharing, mobile access and list or grid views. The listing says little else, so what's covered beyond that is unclear. - **Ease of use: C.** 4.7 on the App Store, but from only 43 ratings, which isn't enough to count. Install and sign in, with no setup noted. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** The listing names iPhone and iPad apps only. Computer and Android support wasn't confirmed, and no integrations are named. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among file storage and sync services - OpenDrive's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 4 of the 45 other file storage and sync services we grade, and level with 8. The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/file-storage ## Keep it, 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. - You could not: Files kept in step across devices without losing one. - You could not: Storing and serving files for other people. - You could not: A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
