Five-minute setup

From first launch to Google Drive in Finder.

No documentation maze. Follow five native steps, then work with your cloud files where you already work—with Finder and your Mac apps.

macOS 14+Apple Silicon

Google Drive available now

Step 1 of 5

Get Harbor

Request beta access, download the approved build, and move Harbor to Applications.

There is no public package yet; beta invitations include the current build.

Step 2 of 5

Open Harbor and choose Add Account. Google Drive is the provider available in the current beta.

Each Google account becomes its own Finder location.

Step 3 of 5

Continue in the secure browser window and approve the access Harbor needs to operate your Drive.

OAuth credentials are stored in macOS Keychain.

Step 4 of 5

Return to Harbor and choose Connect. When setup finishes, Harbor confirms that the Finder location is ready.

Already connected? Harbor refreshes sign-in without replacing the location.

Step 5 of 5

Choose Open in Finder. Cloud-only files remain visible; opening one downloads it on demand.

Keep Harbor running so uploads and remote changes continue syncing.

Open, create, rename, move, and trash files normally. Harbor keeps transfer details in Activity when you need to look closer.
