Review by:
5.0/5

If you are the type of user that works with more than a few drives or external storage devices on a daily basis and you often find yourself having to mount, re-mount, or eject them, then you surely understand how annoying and counterproductive this process can be at times.

Truth be told, macOS is not what you would call careless when it comes to your needs for working with different drives, external or internal, as it features the well-known and quite competent Disk Utility app that can easily get a handle on most disk management situations, such as mounting and un-mounting your drives.

All well so far, but as we are sure you will agree, something that can be simplified is worth simplifying, and when speaking of macOS utilities, things don’t get simpler than their integration in the menubar, where they will always be within reach, and won’t interfere with your work with unnecessary opened windows.

Designed to be as simple and as effective as possible comes Drive, a lightweight and unobtrusive macOS utility that enables you to check your available disk space on all your drives and manage your mounted volumes.

This said, after its installation, Drive will seamlessly integrate itself into your Mac’s menubar, from where it can be accessed with a single click. Within its minimalist menu, you can view the number of mounted volumes, the free space on each and every one of them, as well as a list with all unmounted drives.

As added benefits, Drive also enables you to eject all mounted drives with a single click, to view the percentage of used space or the available space on your system volume right next to its status bar item, as well as to set it up to run at system startup.

Drive is not only lightweight and unobtrusive, but also quite powerful for such a small menulet and, if given a chance, it will really help you better manage your volumes and disks and save time by not having to employ macOS’ native Disk Utility for mounting, re-mounting and ejecting drives.
