DriveIndex Companion

DriveIndex Companion lets you browse the contents of your indexed drives from your iPhone or iPad — without plugging them in.

Designed as a lightweight viewer for the DriveIndex macOS app, DriveIndex Companion connects securely over your local network to display a read-only index of your drives, including folder structure, file metadata, thumbnails, and search tools.

Simply scan a DriveIndex QR label, make sure your Mac and iOS device are on the same Wi-Fi network, and instantly see what’s on a drive — even if it’s sitting on a shelf.
