Folder Drive

The Folder Drive, a MacOS-inspired drive that looks like a folder taken from your desktop.

I had several internal SSDs that I didn't use, so I had the idea of reusing them as external drives. I bought on Aliexpress at this address:

For the design I was inspired by an idea by David Delahunty and Junho Han, I tried to make the design as easy as possible to make and to print with the best possible quality. I added the drawing of the classic mac os icons on each drive, so as to immediately recognise on which drive documents, photos, games and applications are saved. I also created a base where to place the drives which also contains the USB cable to be able to connect them to the PC. I hope you like my project!

Update 28.09.25

I made a new scale base to better organise the folder drives.
