← What SimDrive does

Download SimDrive

A desktop app and a background service. Install it, point it at a folder and a bucket, and leave it alone.

SimDrive is in pre-release. Packages are being prepared and the store listings are in review. Tell us where you want it and we will send a link the day that channel opens.

Check what you downloaded

Every file is served over HTTPS, and its SHA-256 is published at simdrive-SHA256SUMS. Compare them before you install: 

sha256sum -c <(curl -sL https://www.simsondesk.com/simdrive-SHA256SUMS)

On Linux a standalone .deb carries no signature that dpkg would check, and an AppImage carries none most people would verify — so the checksum is the honest answer for a direct download. The signed route is an APT repository, which apt verifies on every update, and that is where SimDrive is going next.

What happens after you install it

  1. Sign in or paste your keys. OneDrive uses a device-code sign-in; S3-compatible storage takes an access key and a secret, which stay on your machine.
  2. Pick the folders. SimDrive suggests the obvious ones and matches them to folders already on your storage, offering to create anything missing.
  3. Watch the first pass. It works folder by folder, so files start arriving in seconds rather than after a survey of the whole remote.

Haven't chosen where to put it yet? Work out what each provider costs — we sell no storage, so the answer is not ours to skew.
