Multiple Google Drive accounts in Drive Buddy on macOS

Overview

Drive Buddy makes it easy to manage multiple Google Drive accounts on Mac. Keep personal, work, and client Drives separate, switch quickly, and browse each account in a Finder-style interface without living in browser sessions.

Why multiple accounts is a Mac reality

Many users have personal Drive storage, a work account, and sometimes client workspaces. Drive Buddy is designed to keep those accounts accessible without constantly switching profiles or signing in and out.

Switch accounts without breaking focus

Fast switching helps when you need to grab a document from another workspace mid-task. The workflow is built around staying in one app rather than juggling multiple browser sessions.

Keep workspaces separate and predictable

Account separation helps avoid mistakes such as uploading to the wrong Drive or editing the wrong workspace. Drive Buddy keeps context clear when you move between Drives.

Consistent browsing experience per account

Each account uses the same Finder-style navigation and file list. This consistency helps you move between Drives without relearning controls.

Use search to find files within each workspace

When you are in the right account, search helps you locate documents quickly. Combined with switching, this supports a rapid retrieval workflow across multiple Drives.

Preview to avoid opening the wrong file

Quick Look previews help confirm you selected the correct document. This is particularly useful when several accounts contain similar folder names or repeated project templates.

Menu bar access for quick entry by account

Menu bar access can be used as a fast entry point into Drive when you only need a search or recent item, then you can return to your main work immediately.

Useful for freelancers and multi-client workflows

If you manage multiple clients, agencies, or workspaces, Drive Buddy provides a cleaner routine than keeping many Drive tabs open across browser profiles.
