Spacedrive
Spacedrive is a local-first file manager and media browser that helps organize files, photos, devices, and cloud sources in one interface.
What is Spacedrive?
Spacedrive is a file management and media organization app published by Spacedrive Technology Inc. It is designed as a local-first desktop application that helps users browse, search, and organize files, photos, folders, and storage locations from a single interface. The product is positioned around unifying data that may be spread across Macs, external drives, network storage, mobile devices, and some cloud-connected sources. Its documentation and product materials describe capabilities such as tagging, advanced search, media browsing, quick preview, and library-based organization. On macOS, users are most likely to encounter it as a standalone desktop app used for personal file organization, photo-heavy libraries, and multi-device storage workflows. Because it indexes and manages user content, it may request access to folders, removable drives, network resources, or media libraries depending on how it is configured.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Spacedrive appears to be a legitimate file management product from Spacedrive Technology Inc. It is not inherently dangerous, but it can access and index large amounts of personal data because that is central to its purpose. Review granted permissions carefully, especially access to Documents, Desktop, removable drives, photos, network locations, and any connected cloud sources.
Recommendation: Keep it if you actively use it for file organization, media browsing, or multi-device storage management. If you no longer use it, removing the app is generally reasonable after confirming you do not need its indexed library data, settings, or connected-location configuration.
