ArDrive

What ArDrive is

ArDrive is a storage app for files, sites, and apps kept on Arweave. Its web app lets users create drives, upload content, and organize files into folders. Uploads are paid once per file rather than through a subscription or account storage quota, and uploads under 100 KB are free. The listed storage plan has no storage cap; the one-time price depends on file size and live Turbo rates. Users can make drives public or private. Anyone can see public-drive files after upload; private-drive files are encrypted on the user's device before upload and can be opened by the user and people given a key. Confirmed uploads cannot be removed by the user, ArDrive, or anyone else, and ArDrive says stored files remain available even if it stops operating. It accepts common documents, photos, video, audio, zipped folders, static sites, and apps. Users can host static sites or apps from a drive and point an ArNS domain at a folder for a human-readable link. Developers can use an open-source CLI, APIs, and SDKs for scripted uploads, downloads, and drive management. Payments can be made by card through Turbo or with AR tokens.
