Access your files

Your drive, everywhere in the house

Uploads and downloads are protected by two-factor authentication.

Automatic backup, built in and free

Plug in a second USB drive and myUSBdrive mirrors your files automatically — included free. If one drive ever fails, your photos, music, and films are safe on the other.

Recover accidentally deleted files from the built-in Recycle Bin. Access is password protected from the start.
