Once you have downloaded and installed the app, you just need to log in to sync your account to the server. To upload to your Rapidshare account, just drag the files to your selected RapidDrive folder. The tool will then create a temporary folder for the upload process to run in the background. You can then check the tray menu to view the progress of your uploads and after uploading, you can also open the file from your RapidDrive.

RapidDrive is pretty limited in what it can do compared to true syncing tools like Dropbox. However, RapidDrivers offers unlimited storage and ease of use for interacting with your Rapidshare account. This tool is useful for people who need to transfer and host large files seamlessly.

Features:

• Store your Rapidshare files locally.
• Run in Javascript.
• Work only on Windows.
• Provides unlimited cloud storage.
• Needs Rapidshare premium account to work.
