ArDrive

Pay Once. Store Forever.

Store files, apps, and pages with no subscriptions.

ArDrive app on tablet, desktop, and phone

Permanent storage for your apps and data, with no subscriptions.

Cloud storage, paid once.

Upload a file once and it stays stored, with no renewals.

01

No Storage Cap

There is no account quota. You pay once for each file you upload, and store as much as you want.

02

No Subscriptions

Pay once and access your files indefinitely, without monthly fees or recurring plans.

03

Open Source

The ArDrive app, CLI, and core libraries are open source, so anyone can inspect and audit the code.

ardrive-cli
❯ardrive create-drive \
    --wallet-file /path/to/wallet.json \
    --drive-name "Teenage Love Poetry"
{
  "created": [
    {
      "type": "drive",
      "metadataTxId": "giv2R8Xj0b…",
      "entityId": "898687ea-b678-4f86-…",
      "entityName": "Teenage Love Poetry"
    },

      "entityId": "f0c58c11-430c-4383-…",

    },
    {
      "type": "bundle",
      "bundleTxId": "Vj2x4IBEAe…"
    }
  ]
}

Access, upload, own.

ArDrive works like the cloud storage app you already use, and every file you upload is stored permanently.

ArDrive file manager interface

End to end encryption

Files in a private drive are encrypted on your device before they upload.

Permanent Publishing

Publish sites to permanent storage, with links that keep working.

Designed to Last

Files are stored on Arweave, not on ArDrive's servers, so they do not depend on ArDrive staying online.

Version Tracking

Track changes, review history, and restore any previous document version.

“ArDrive literally saved the entire migration... If I was restarting from scratch, I would've used it way earlier. It's amazing to see that something as big as RTFKT can be fully permanent on chain.”
