Getting files out of Drime Cloud without the web app

Drime Cloud is storage hosted in Europe, with a public API and desktop apps. Its public roadmap lists WebDAV and a cloud migration tool as planned, not shipped. If you want to move a lot of data today, that shapes the plan.

Where Drime Cloud transfers get awkward

  • WebDAV is not available. Drime's help says "WebDAV is not available yet, and Drime has no S3, FTP or SFTP access"[1]. The roadmap lists WebDAV for 2027[2], so a file manager cannot mount Drime until then.
  • The migration tool is planned. The roadmap lists "Cloud Migration Tools" for 2026: "Move from Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive with preserved structures, resumable transfers and clear progress"[3].
  • The command-line tool is gone. Drime's help says "The Drime CLI is no longer available, so rclone is the way to use Drime from a terminal"[4].
  • There is no Linux desktop app yet. The roadmap lists "Linux App" for 2027[5].
  • rclone compares file size only. rclone's page says "Drime does not support modification times or hashes. This means that by default syncs will only use the size of the file to determine if it needs updating"[6]. That works, but it is a terminal job with a config file.

How Blober handles it

Blober is a desktop app that moves files between providers, and Drime Cloud is one of them. You connect it with an API token from your Drime settings. Then you pick a workspace and a folder as a source or a destination.

  • Out of Drime Cloud: choose a folder in a workspace as the source and another provider as the destination. The files go from Drime to the destination through your computer, with no export archive, no browser download and no full copy on your disk.
  • Into Drime Cloud: choose a workspace folder as the destination. Blober creates missing folders on the way.
  • Inside Drime Cloud: copy and move happen on Drime's side, so reorganizing an account uses none of your bandwidth.
  • Deduplication: the default skips a file when its name already exists in the destination folder, so running the same workflow again does not copy files twice.
  • Folder structure: a path template decides where each file goes, so the same workflow can reorganize files while it moves them.

Set it up

  1. Create an API token in Drime under Settings, then Developers. Then add Drime Cloud in Blober. The Drime Cloud setup guide walks through both.
  2. Create a workflow with Drime Cloud on one side, the other provider on the other side, and a folder on each.
  3. Run it and watch the Progress page. To repeat the transfer later, start the same workflow again. With the default deduplication setting, files that are already in the destination are skipped.

Things to expect

  • Blober does not decrypt Drime's Vault, which is end-to-end encrypted. Use Drime's own apps for Vault files.
  • Deletes in Drime go to the Drime trash, so you can restore a file from there[7].
  • Drime keeps the original modified date of an uploaded file. It has no original created date, so the created date in Drime is the day of the upload.
  • If you delete the token in Drime, Blober stops working until you paste a new one.
  • The Drime web app stays useful for sharing, links and previews. Blober moves files.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mount Drime Cloud in Finder or Explorer? Not through WebDAV yet. Drime lists WebDAV for 2027[8]. Blober does not mount Drime. It copies files between Drime and other providers.

Does Blober replace the Drime desktop app? No. Drime's apps are for using your Drime account. Blober moves files between Drime and your other providers.

Can I move my Google Drive into Drime Cloud? Yes. Choose Google Drive as the source and Drime Cloud as the destination. Drime's own migration tool is planned for 2026[9]. Until it ships, Blober keeps your folder structure while it copies. See the Google Drive setup guide for the Google Drive side.

How do I get my Vault files out? Use Drime's own apps. Blober does not decrypt a Vault.

What happens if the token stops working? The task fails with a message that asks you to paste a new token. Paste one in the workflow and run it again. With the default deduplication setting, files that were already copied are skipped.

Can Blober run this every night? No. Blober has no scheduler, so a workflow runs when you start it. Start the same workflow again whenever you want to copy new files.
