Files are kept in the cloud until they are needed, drastically reducing local hard drive usage.
ExpanDrive 2021.8.2 is a dedicated network drive mapping utility that allows users to access cloud storage directly from their local operating systems as if it were a standard USB drive or hard disk [1]. ☁️ The Core Concept ExpanDrive 2021.8.2
