Spacedrive
Spacedrive is a local-first file management app that helps you browse, organize, search, and connect files across devices and storage sources.
What is Spacedrive?
Spacedrive is a file management and media organization app for people who want one place to work with files across local drives, external storage, network locations, and cloud sources. It is built as a native desktop app for macOS and also supports Windows and Linux. The app helps users create libraries, index content, browse folders, search across their data, and manage files from a unified interface. Spacedrive also includes media-focused workflows such as previewing and organizing photo, video, and other asset collections. Its local-first design is intended for users who want to keep control of their data while still working across multiple devices and storage locations. Spacedrive is published by Spacedrive Technology Inc.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Spacedrive is a legitimate file management app, but it may request access to folders, removable drives, network locations, and other user data so it can index and manage content. Those permissions are consistent with its purpose, but they can expose a large amount of personal information inside the app. Review which folders and sources are connected, and only grant access to locations you want indexed or managed.
Recommendation: Keep Spacedrive if you use it to organize or search files across drives and devices. If you no longer use it, removing the app may also remove its local libraries, indexing data, and saved connections, so export or verify anything important first.
