Drivey Shortcuts: A better way to organize.

What Are Cross-Cloud Shortcuts?

Drivey cross-cloud shortcuts are a file with a .drvy extension that help you to organize content in other accounts, or that are external to the provider. Drivy shortcutsmake it easy for you to save important resources within any of your connected drives. You can easily create a shortcut for a file or folder from one cloud account to a different provider account. Or you can create a shortcut to an external webpage. Then simply open the shortcut with the Drivey app and voila! You will be taken to the corresponding account location, or a new tab will open to the saved external webpage.

Benefits of Cross-Cloud Shortcuts

Manage content between accounts

We know the pain of managing multiple drives and accounts too well. A client, or family member shares a file with you in a different account, and either you make a copy to your main account or you lose track of it. DRVY shortcuts to the rescue! Easily create shortcuts to any content in any other connected account.

Organize external resources

Bookmarks are so 2002! They are unwieldy and annoying, and sometimes a wiki just doesn’t make sense. With DRVY shortcuts you can create a link to any public url and store it right alongside your other drive files. Need to keep track of a client document? College resources? Online games? Manage all of your external files and resources with ease with Drivey’s Cross-cloud shortcuts.

Don’t get out of sync

Clients, friends, and family share content from a number of cloud storage providers. When you copy the file or folder to your main provider, you risk that content going out-of-sync with whomever shared it. But not if you use a DRVY shortcut!

A Drivey shortcut, or cross-cloud shortcut, is a special link, with a .drvy extension, in your cloud drive that stores a reference to an off-drive file, folder, or url.

Drivey Shortcuts make it easy to organize content between cloud storage systems. Easily create a link to any outside file, folder, or website to keep your family, friend, and client information organized; no matter where it lives.

There are many existing solutions that keep files in sync between drives. But we took a different approach with Drivey. Instead of copying / updating the files and folders to your drive every time they are updated elsewhere, Drivey Shortcuts create a simple link to any cloud file or website, keeping your storage low while delivering an easy-to-use way to organize all of your off-drive files and sites.

The shortcut is a unique feature offered by Drivey, and it is stored as a file in your account. However, it is a special file we created, so it will not work and may show as unrecognized unless you are using the Drivey app.
