Overview

The Drive AI is an intelligence layer over a user’s files. It connects to Gmail, Outlook, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Slack and Microsoft Teams, or takes uploads and drag-and-drop, and a file agent then creates, organizes, renames, shares or searches files from a plain-language instruction. It reads file content rather than only the file name, learns a person’s naming and folder patterns over time, and produces multi-page PDFs, Word documents and spreadsheets on request. A newer Workflows feature lets a rule be described once, such as filing invoices by client and year, so every matching file that arrives afterward is handled the same way, with every step logged and any run replayable. Free tools include scan-to-PDF from a phone camera and PDF merging, splitting, compressing and watermarking. The product ships as a web app, browser extension, desktop app and iOS and Android apps.

Search answers are grounded in the user’s own files rather than generated freely: each answer cites the file and section it came from, and the site states that it says so when information is not in the files before turning to a web search instead. OCR lets it work with scanned documents, and it can fetch a public file from the web into the workspace on request. Storage of contracts, invoices and correspondence in one AI-searchable place raises the stakes if access controls are weak, so review who can share and open files. The pricing FAQ describes what happens after cancellation: a team workspace turns read-only and keeps files for 90 days with an email warning before deletion, while a personal workspace reverts to the free plan and keeps its files. The security page states AES-256 encryption, malware detection and CASA certification.

Free costs $0 forever, with 10 AI steps a day, 300 a month, 20 workflow files a month, and 1 GB of storage across up to 50 text-format files, and no card is required. Premium is $199.99 a year, billed at $239.88 without the annual discount, with 100 AI steps a day, 500 workflow files a month, all file types including images, video and audio, 20 GB of storage across up to 500 files, and several AI models including GPT-5 and Claude. Max is $999.99 a year, billed at $1,199.88 without the discount, with unlimited AI steps, 2,000 workflow files a month, 500 GB of storage with unlimited files, e-signatures, file requests, workflows across Gmail, Outlook, Slack and Teams, and priority support. Personal plans can be cancelled at any time.
