How Where’s My Drive works

Four steps: scan a drive once, print its QR sticker, let anyone on the team scan the sticker, and search every drive you own without plugging any of them in.

Watch it in 39 seconds

1. Scan a drive

Plug the drive in, open Where’s My Drive in Chrome or Edge, add the drive and pick its folder. The app reads folder and file names and sizes — up to 400,000 files per drive — and stores the catalog. File contents never leave the drive.

2. Print its QR sticker

Each drive gets a QR code. Print one sticker on any printer, all your drives on an A4 sheet, or on a small label printer. On Studio and Studio Plus you can put your studio logo in the centre.

3. Anyone scans the sticker

A teammate points their phone camera at the sticker, types the team PIN once, and sees the drive’s folders, sizes, last scan date and notes — read-only, no account, no app.

4. Search everything

Search a file, folder or drive name across every drive your team has scanned. Results show the drive and path; one click opens the folder with the file highlighted.

And the details that make it stick

What it is not

It is not a backup tool and it does not move or sync files — your drives stay exactly as they are. It is not a media asset manager with previews either: it is the fast answer to “which drive, and where on it?”, for everyone on the team.

Frequently asked questions

Which browsers does Where’s My Drive support?

Scanning needs Chrome or Edge (the File System Access API). Browsing, searching and scanning stickers work in any browser, on any phone.

Do team members need an app?

No. A phone camera and a browser tab are enough.
