TrekMail Drive is here, and it's a real cloud file manager — not just a place email attachments go to disappear. It's a standalone product with its own page, its own quota, its own subscription, and its own API. You can use it to back up a laptop, archive a decade of project files, store the entire RAW library from your last trip, or hand a safe storage account to an AI assistant. And yes — it also finally fixes the moment when your email server says "attachment too large" and ruins your afternoon. (Jump to that section →)
If you're an agency, a White Label reseller, or a team that's outgrown free tiers and free trials, this is probably the most useful thing we've shipped this year.
TL;DR
- TrekMail Drive is cloud file storage, not just an email helper. Use it from the dashboard, from webmail, from code, or from an AI assistant.
- Send files of any size by email — anything over 18 MB auto-routes through Drive and ships as a clean, secure download link.
- Storage from 250 GB to 100 TB with a single slider, monthly or yearly. Reach out for petabytes.
- Shared folders across your team with one click. No permissions matrices.
- AI-agent-safe by design: scoped tokens, 30-day trash recovery, full audit log.
- Full REST API and MCP support so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or your own scripts can use Drive as proper cloud storage.
- White Label resellers get 30% off, stacking with the yearly discount.
Drive is a product, not a feature
We designed Drive to stand on its own. It has its own page in the dashboard, its own quota counter, its own billing line, and its own API. You can subscribe to Drive without ever opening webmail. You can use it from a script, from an MCP-aware AI assistant, or from a browser. The email integration is real and useful, but Drive earns its keep even if you never send a single attachment.
A TrekMail account can hold many mailboxes — one per teammate, role, or alias — and Drive gives that account two storage surfaces:
- Personal Drive lives inside every mailbox. It's a private space, like your laptop's documents folder, but in the cloud. Nobody else in your account sees it.
- Account Drive lives in the dashboard. It's the shared space your whole team can read and write to.
Move a folder between the two with a single click. Shared folders are visible to every mailbox in the account instantly — no permissions matrix to wire up, no "request access" dance, no admin approval queue.
Sending large files by email: the 25 MB problem, solved
You know the moment. You've finished a deck, exported a video, scanned a contract — and the moment you hit "attach," your inbox throws back the same tired error: file too large. Then comes the third-party upload, the link-pasting, the prayer that the recipient doesn't get a 404 next Tuesday.
When you attach a file larger than 18 MB in webmail, TrekMail routes it through Drive automatically. It uploads, generates a secure download link, and adds a clean "Files shared via Drive" section at the bottom of your message. The recipient sees what looks like a normal email with a link. You sent what felt like a normal attachment.
The link itself is controllable:
- Download cap defaults to 100 per file — more than enough for almost any real conversation. You can raise it, lower it, or remove it.
- Expiry date is optional. Useful when you're sending a project file that should stop being accessible after the project is done.
- Revoke at any time. If you sent the wrong file or the wrong recipient, you can cut off access in two clicks from your Drive.
Anything you ship this way lands in an auto-created Email attachments folder in your Drive, so you can clean up old files later instead of hunting through your sent folder.
We also took the security side seriously. Every link uses a long random token that's stored hashed, never raw. Failed links — revoked, expired, maxed-out — all show the same neutral "this link isn't available" page; we don't leak the reason. The download URL itself is short-lived and signed. It's the most secure version of "click here to download" we could ship.
There's no hard ceiling on the file size. If your laptop can upload it and your recipient can download it, TrekMail will move it. That's the whole point.
How much storage do you actually get?
A lot.
The Drive add-on is a single slider from 250 GB to 100 TB. Drag it to the size you want, pick monthly or yearly (yearly is about 17% cheaper), and that's it. No bundled features you didn't ask for. No surprise tiers above 1 TB. See current pricing on the pricing page.
If you're on our White Label plan, every step of that slider is 30% cheaper, and the discount stacks with the annual discount. That's a real margin if you're reselling cloud storage to your own customers under your own brand.
Need more than 100 TB? Get in touch. We've sold petabyte allocations to teams that asked. The 100 TB slider is the self-serve ceiling, not a hard ceiling on what we'll do.
If you ever cancel the add-on, there's a 7-day grace period where your data stays fully readable. Reads, downloads, and existing links keep working; only new uploads pause. We're not going to lock you out of your own archive because you missed a billing date.
Shared pool or dedicated per mailbox — your call
Storage on TrekMail is configurable per mailbox. You pick the mode that fits how your team actually works:
- Pooled mailboxes all draw from one shared bucket. Email, personal Drive, and shared folders pull from the same number. Nobody has to think about who's using what — handy for small teams and individual accounts.
- Dedicated mailboxes get a fixed allocation that's theirs and only theirs. The CEO can have 500 GB while the intern has 5 GB, and neither can eat into the other's quota.
Mix and match within the same account. It's especially useful for White Label resellers who want to sell mailboxes with predictable, per-customer quotas.
What Drive is good at
We didn't try to build a docs editor or a project-management tool. Drive is for keeping files and getting them back. That sounds simple, but it's the part most cloud-storage products forget to do well.
A real archive for people who actually have data
If you're a photographer with 4K raw files, a videographer with a year of travel footage, a research lab with decades of scans, or just someone who's run out of room on every external drive they own — Drive is built for that shape of usage. You can:
- Drag and drop entire folders straight from your desktop, including everything nested inside.
- Create folders, nest them as deep as you want, and color-label them so the project folder you care about stands out at a glance.
- Rename, move, and reorganize files instantly — operations don't shuffle bytes around in storage, they just update the index.
- Search across your Drive by name.
- Bulk-select hundreds of items and move, restore, or delete them in a single action instead of one-by-one.
It's the boring stuff done right. Which is the only thing that matters when you have a lot of data.
A safe place to keep things
Everything you delete goes to Trash for 30 days before it's actually destroyed. Restoring is one click, and restore is exact — if you delete a folder with 800 files inside it, restoring brings back all 800, in their original structure.
Every operation in Drive is logged in an audit trail — who did what, when, and from where. That trail isn't just for compliance teams; it's the thing that tells you "okay, this got deleted by my Tuesday-night backup script, not by a stranger."
Safe cloud storage for AI agents
This one is going to matter more every quarter.
If you've started letting an AI agent — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or your own home-built thing — touch real files on a real server, you've probably already had the moment where you watched it delete a folder you didn't want gone. Or rewrite a file you needed. Or "clean up" a directory it shouldn't have touched. The data is gone. You don't get it back. Maybe you had a backup, maybe you didn't.
Drive is the answer to that problem.
You can give an AI agent a token that lets it read and write to Drive but not destroy anything. Permanent deletion is a separate, explicitly-scoped permission. Move a file to trash? Sure. Delete it forever? Different token, different scope, much harder to grant by accident. And even if an agent does send something to the trash, you have 30 days to pull it back.
Every action the agent takes is logged with the token that did it, so you can see exactly what your assistant has been up to without having to trust its own summary of events.
In other words: if your AI agent ever does something dumb to your files, Drive turns "permanent data loss" into "a thing I have to undo." This is the kind of risk worth thinking about now, before it bites you — whether you use TrekMail or not. We just happen to have built the tool for it.
Full REST API and MCP support
Drive isn't a walled garden. Everything you can do in the browser, you can do from code:
- A full REST API for files, folders, uploads, downloads, share links, and trash. Documented and stable. See the API documentation.
- A complete set of MCP tools for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Claude, and any other MCP-aware client, can list your folders, upload a file, mint a download link, and clean up after itself.
- Scoped tokens so you can hand out exactly the permissions you mean to. Read-only. Write-only. With or without the destructive scope.
- Multipart upload so files of any size move efficiently — no awkward chunking logic to write yourself.
If you've ever wanted "S3, but with a UI, an inbox, and an audit log on top," that's us. We covered the full API surface in more detail in our AI Agents page.
How Drive compares to what you're probably using now
We didn't build Drive to replace every cloud product on the market. We built it to consolidate the four or five tools most people stitch together when their email and their storage start fighting.
- If you currently use Dropbox or Google Drive for storage and WeTransfer for big attachments, Drive does both. The link doesn't expire in seven days unless you say so. The file doesn't get auto-deleted by someone else's retention policy.
- If you currently use Google Drive shared folders, Drive's shared folders work the same way — one click to share with the whole team, one click to stop — but live next to your email and your billing, not in a separate Google account you have to remember the login for.
- If you currently use S3 directly, Drive gives you a real UI on top of it, plus an audit log, scoped tokens, and a Trash. Same scale, less rolling your own.
- If you currently use nothing because none of the above felt worth the setup — give Drive a try. The whole thing is two clicks: drag in a file, you're done.
What Drive is not (yet)
We'd rather you know upfront than discover later:
- No file previews. You download to view. Previews are on the roadmap; they're not built yet.
- No password-protected share links. Links are gated by expiry, download cap, and revocation, but no per-recipient password.
- No co-editing. Drive stores and shares files. It doesn't edit them.
If you need any of those today, we'd rather lose you to a competitor than have you discover the gap after you've moved a terabyte of footage in.
Who Drive is for
- Travelers and creators who shoot more in a month than their laptop can hold.
- Backup-conscious people who want one boring, reliable place that isn't their dying external drive.
- Small teams who need a shared folder and not a six-screen permissions setup.
- Anyone running AI agents on real data and worrying about the day one of them does something irreversible.
- White Label resellers who want a credible cloud-storage product to put alongside their email offering — with margin.
Getting started
If you already have a TrekMail account, Drive is in your dashboard right now. Open Drive → and drag a file in. Or just compose an email and attach something larger than 18 MB — Drive kicks in automatically, and the file will be waiting in your Email attachments folder when you're done.
If you want serious capacity, pick a Drive add-on size → — anywhere from 250 GB to 100 TB, monthly or yearly. It's live immediately, no support ticket required.
If you need more than 100 TB, write to us at support@trekmail.net. We're not picky about the kind of data you have. We just want to make sure you never have to delete something you wanted to keep.
FAQ
How much storage do I get with TrekMail Drive by default? Every TrekMail plan comes with storage that's pooled between your email and your Drive — usually plenty for individuals and small teams. If you need more, the Drive add-on slider goes from 250 GB up to 100 TB, and we can quote larger allocations on request.
Can I send files larger than 25 MB by email with TrekMail? Yes. Any attachment over 18 MB automatically routes through Drive and goes out as a secure download link. There's no hard size ceiling — if you can upload it, you can send it.
Does TrekMail Drive have an API? Yes — a full REST API plus MCP tools for AI assistants. You can manage files, folders, uploads, downloads, and share links from code or from any MCP-aware client like Claude.
What happens to my files if I cancel the Drive add-on? You get a 7-day grace period where your data is fully readable. Downloads and existing share links keep working; only new uploads pause. After the grace period, files that exceed your remaining quota get queued for cleanup — we email you well before that happens.
Is TrekMail Drive safe to use with AI agents like Claude or ChatGPT? Yes, and it's one of the reasons we built Drive the way we did. You can issue scoped tokens that allow read and write but disallow permanent deletion. Anything an agent deletes goes to Trash, which keeps it recoverable for 30 days. Every action is logged in an audit trail tied to the token that did it.
Are share links public? Can anyone with the URL download the file? A share link works for anyone who has the URL — that's the point — but you control the rules. You can set a download cap, an expiry date, or revoke the link at any time. The link uses a long random token, the underlying file URL is short-lived and signed, and we don't leak the reason a link stopped working.
Can I share a folder with my whole team? Yes. From any folder in your personal Drive, hit Share with account. The entire folder — and everything nested inside — becomes instantly visible to every mailbox in your account. Hit Stop sharing to pull it back.
Do White Label resellers get a discount on Drive add-ons? Yes. White Label customers get 30% off every Drive add-on tier, and the discount stacks with the yearly discount. See the White Label page for the full picture.
