1. Sign in with Google
Authorize Undrive to access your Drive's hidden app folder. We only request minimal permissions.
Hidden storage in your own Google Drive
Your Drive, unseen.
Store personal files in Google Drive's hidden app folder — invisible from the Drive UI, accessible only through Undrive. Uses your own storage quota.
How it works
2. Upload your files
Files are stored in Google Drive's appDataFolder — a special hidden area that doesn't appear in your normal Drive.
3. Access anytime
Browse, download, and manage your hidden files through Undrive. They use your existing Google Drive quota.
Why Undrive?
Hidden Storage
Uses Google Drive's appDataFolder — completely invisible from the normal Drive UI.
Your Quota
Files count against your existing Google Drive storage. No extra subscription needed.
Minimal Permissions
We only request drive.appdata scope — we can't see or touch your regular Drive files.
Zero Server Cost
Files go directly between your browser and Google. We never store or process your data.
FAQ
Can Google see my files?
Google stores the files, so technically they have access to the raw data. The files are hidden from Google Drive's UI but not encrypted in Phase 1. End-to-end encryption is coming in a future update.
Does this count toward my storage?
Yes. Files stored in appDataFolder use your normal Google Drive storage quota (15GB free, or whatever plan you have).
Can I see these files in Google Drive?
No. The appDataFolder is completely hidden from Drive's web UI, mobile apps, and desktop sync. Only Undrive can access them.
What happens if I uninstall Undrive?
Your files remain in the appDataFolder. You can reconnect Undrive anytime to access them again. You can also revoke access from Google Account settings, which deletes the hidden data.
Is my data safe?
Your files are as safe as anything in Google Drive. We never store, log, or process your files on our servers. Everything happens directly between your browser and Google's API.
