Migrate to/from OpenDrive (Unlimited Personal Storage)

What is OpenDrive?

OpenDrive is a US-headquartered cloud-storage service offering one of the few truly unlimited storage plans on the consumer / SMB market — Personal Unlimited at $9.95/month ($129/year) and Business Unlimited at $29.95/month ($299/year). Free accounts get a modest 5 GB with a strict 100 MB per-file cap and 1 GB daily download bandwidth. The Business Custom plan offers 500 GB to 100 TB tiers starting at $7/month for users who want defined storage rather than unlimited. OpenDrive supports WebDAV access for third-party tool integration alongside its native desktop sync clients (macOS, Windows, Linux) and mobile apps.

Where OpenDrive fits is the gap between budget unlimited services (4shared, 1Fichier) and major-vendor cloud (Google Drive, OneDrive). OpenDrive's value proposition is unlimited storage with US datacenters and conventional UX — useful for users who hit Google One 2 TB cap and don't want to pay for higher tiers, or for SMBs that want flat-rate pricing rather than per-user-per-TB billing. CloudsLinker connects via OpenDrive's WebDAV endpoint, with transfers running at the speed allowed by your account tier (Business Unlimited has a generous 250 GB/day download bandwidth allowance — much higher than Personal Unlimited's standard cap).

Key features of OpenDrive

Personal Unlimited: $9.95/mo

$9.95/month or $129/year for unlimited storage on Personal plans. Among the few truly-unlimited consumer cloud options remaining in 2026.

Business Unlimited: $29.95/mo

$29.95/month or $299/year for unlimited storage on Business plans, including 250 GB/day download bandwidth allowance.

Business Custom: 500 GB → 100 TB

Defined-storage tier starting at $7/month for 500 GB, scaling to 100 TB. Useful for SMBs that want predictable storage allocation rather than truly unlimited.

Free: 5 GB, 100 MB cap, 1 GB/day

Free tier: 5 GB storage, 100 MB per-file cap, 1 GB daily download bandwidth. Restrictive enough that meaningful work requires upgrade.

WebDAV access

OpenDrive exposes WebDAV for third-party tools (CloudsLinker uses this path). Native desktop sync clients (macOS, Windows, Linux) and mobile apps available alongside.

Reseller program: $59.95/mo

Reseller plan at $59.95/month for white-label cloud-storage resellers. Distinct positioning from major-vendor clouds where reseller programs are limited or unavailable.

Why connect OpenDrive to CloudsLinker

CloudsLinker connects to OpenDrive via WebDAV using your account email + password. Once connected, transfers run server-to-server through OpenDrive's REST API endpoints — at the speed allowed by your account tier (free accounts hit the 1 GB/day download cap quickly; Business plans run at full speed). Use as source for migrating OpenDrive content out, as destination for backing up other clouds into OpenDrive's unlimited-storage tiers, or for ongoing scheduled sync between OpenDrive and other clouds.

What you can do with OpenDrive on CloudsLinker

OpenDrive ↔ any cloud copy

Migrate from OpenDrive to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, S3, Wasabi or B2 — or back up other clouds to OpenDrive's unlimited tiers via WebDAV.

Runs on our servers

OpenDrive transfers execute on CloudsLinker infrastructure. Useful for migrating multi-TB unlimited-tier content without consuming home internet for days.

Scheduled & incremental sync

Hourly / daily / weekly schedules. Pair OpenDrive Personal Unlimited as the perpetual backup destination for working clouds (Google Drive, OneDrive) — flat $9.95/mo regardless of growth.

Filter by folder, type, size

Migrate only specific folders, exclude files larger than the destination's cap, or sync only office documents and PDFs.

Common OpenDrive transfer scenarios

Use OpenDrive Personal Unlimited as the perpetual backup destination

If you've outgrown Google One 2 TB ($9.99/mo) but don't want to pay for 5 TB Google One ($24.99/mo), OpenDrive Personal Unlimited at $9.95/mo offers truly unlimited storage at the lower price. Schedule a CloudsLinker nightly incremental from Google Drive into OpenDrive — your monthly storage bill stays flat regardless of how much you back up.

Migrate Dropbox / Box / OneDrive → OpenDrive Business Unlimited for cost reduction

Companies on Dropbox Business ($24/user/mo) or Box Enterprise ($35/user/mo) sometimes evaluate OpenDrive Business Unlimited ($29.95/mo flat for unlimited users) as a cost-saving consolidation. CloudsLinker handles the bulk migration via WebDAV preserving folder structure.

3-2-1 backup of OpenDrive → S3 / Wasabi for cross-vendor redundancy

Even with unlimited storage, single-vendor risk matters. Schedule a CloudsLinker periodic copy from OpenDrive to a different cloud (Wasabi $6.99/TB, B2 $6/TB) for cross-vendor redundancy with Object Lock immutability.

Cold-archive personal media → OpenDrive Personal Unlimited (one tier vs cloud-by-cloud)

Photos, videos, music collections, project files — all bound for a single unlimited-storage destination. CloudsLinker pulls from iCloud Photos, Google Photos, Dropbox into a unified OpenDrive Personal Unlimited account. Pay $9.95/mo flat regardless of total volume.

Reseller resale workflow: OpenDrive → customer-specific destinations

OpenDrive's reseller program lets you white-label cloud storage. CloudsLinker can be used by resellers to migrate customer data in/out of OpenDrive on demand — particularly useful when a customer leaves and needs their data exported to their preferred destination.

How to connect OpenDrive to CloudsLinker

OpenDrive uses WebDAV with email + password authentication.

Connection steps

In CloudsLinker, click Add Cloud → choose OpenDrive.
Enter a display name (e.g. “OpenDrive — Personal Unlimited”).
Enter your email (the email you use to sign in to opendrive.com).
Enter your password (your OpenDrive account password — or app-specific password if 2FA is enabled and OpenDrive offers app passwords on your tier).
Click Confirm — CloudsLinker validates with a PROPFIND request and shows the connection ready.

2FA note

If you have 2FA enabled on your OpenDrive account and the WebDAV connection fails, check your OpenDrive security settings for an app-specific password feature. WebDAV uses HTTP Basic Auth which doesn’t natively support TOTP prompts — an app password is required when 2FA is on (similar pattern to Fastmail, Nextcloud, ownCloud).

Revoke access

To revoke CloudsLinker’s WebDAV access later: change your OpenDrive password from opendrive.com → Account → Security → Change Password. The change invalidates all existing sessions including CloudsLinker’s.

OpenDrive upload & download limits you should know

OpenDrive’s plans differ sharply between free (heavily restricted) and paid tiers (unrestricted on Business Unlimited):

Free tier: 5 GB storage, 100 MB per-file cap, 1 GB daily download bandwidth. Restrictive enough that real work requires upgrade.
Personal Unlimited: $9.95/month or $129/year. Unlimited storage. Standard daily bandwidth (specific cap not published).
Business Custom: starts at $7/month for 500 GB, scaling to 100 TB. Defined storage allocation.
Business Unlimited: $29.95/month or $299/year. Unlimited storage + 250 GB/day download bandwidth allowance.
Reseller plan: $59.95/month. White-label cloud-storage resale.
WebDAV access: standard. Available on all paid tiers.
Native sync clients: macOS, Windows, Linux desktop apps + iOS/Android mobile.
Authentication: email + password (or app password if 2FA enabled and supported on tier).
Trash retention: typically 30 days; configurable on Business plans.
Versioning: included with paid plans.
Hosting: US-based datacenters.

OpenDrive + CloudsLinker — Frequently Asked Questions

Is OpenDrive's 'unlimited' storage really unlimited?

OpenDrive markets unlimited storage on Personal Unlimited and Business Unlimited plans. In practice, fair-use policies likely apply at extreme scale — multi-PB single-account use would probably trigger TOS review. For typical personal use (1–10 TB) and SMB use (10–100 TB), unlimited works as advertised.

What's the daily download bandwidth limit?

Free tier: 1 GB/day download. Personal Unlimited: standard daily cap (not specifically published — practical limit varies). Business Unlimited: 250 GB/day download bandwidth — the most generous tier and the right choice for backup-restore scenarios where you might pull large amounts of data on demand.

What's the maximum file size?

Free: 100 MB per file (very restrictive). Paid plans: no published hard cap; multi-GB files work via chunked WebDAV upload. CloudsLinker handles large files reliably on paid tiers.

Are my OpenDrive credentials safe with CloudsLinker?

Yes. Email + password are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and decrypted only inside the active transfer worker. Best practice: create a dedicated OpenDrive sub-user (Business plans support multi-user accounts) for CloudsLinker rather than using your master credentials.

Does OpenDrive support 2FA for WebDAV?

OpenDrive offers 2FA for the web login. WebDAV typically uses HTTP Basic Auth which doesn't natively support TOTP prompts — check your OpenDrive account settings for an app-specific password mechanism if 2FA is enabled. Without app password support, you may need to disable 2FA temporarily for WebDAV setup.

How does OpenDrive compare to Backblaze, Wasabi, B2?

OpenDrive: consumer/SMB UX, unlimited or defined tiers, WebDAV / desktop sync, US-hosted. Backblaze B2: S3-compatible object storage, pay-per-GB, developer-focused. Wasabi: S3-compatible, $6.99/TB flat, no egress (with caveats). OpenDrive wins on consumer features (sync clients, mobile apps); B2/Wasabi win on raw $/TB at scale.

How fast can CloudsLinker transfer with OpenDrive?

Throughput depends on your plan tier. Free accounts cap at 1 GB/day download — bottleneck for any meaningful migration. Paid plans run at full WebDAV API speed; typical sustained throughput is 100–300 GB/day per connection. Business Unlimited's 250 GB/day download cap is high enough for most backup scenarios.

Can I migrate between two OpenDrive accounts?

Yes. Connect each account as a separate cloud in CloudsLinker (each with its own credentials), then run an account-to-account copy. Folder structure and file content transfer; sharing links don't (account-scoped).

What about Reseller-account migrations?

OpenDrive Reseller accounts ($59.95/mo) host multiple end-customer accounts under your white-label brand. CloudsLinker connects to each end-customer account via WebDAV the same way as standalone accounts — useful when a customer leaves and needs their data exported.

Is this an official OpenDrive partnership?

No. CloudsLinker is a third-party tool that uses OpenDrive's standard WebDAV API. Revoke access by changing your OpenDrive password — invalidates all existing sessions including CloudsLinker's.
