Every feature, every tier, every purchase option — at a glance.
Your plan applies to every cloud you connect — Google Drive and OneDrive alike. Free-tier scan caps and cooldowns are counted per cloud, not shared between them.

Nearly everything works identically on both clouds. These are the differences, and why they exist.
| Capability | Google Drive | OneDrive | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dashboard, sunburst, duplicates, folder tree, cleanup, security audit, trends | ✓ | ✓ | The analysis engine is provider-independent |
| Scheduled background scans | ✓ | ✓ | Each cloud keeps its own schedule |
| PDF reports, CSV export, saved scans, storage budget | ✓ | ✓ | Shared across providers |
| Cleanup / unshare via generated script | ✓ | — | Uses Google Apps Script, which you run yourself |
| In-app execution of cleanup / unshare / version actions | — | ✓ | OneDrive has no Apps Script equivalent, so DriveNest carries the action out itself on your confirmation |
| Automatic cleanup after a scheduled scan | ✓ | — | Built on the Apps Script deployment pipeline |
| “Shared with Me” partition scan | ✓ | ✓ | Both clouds separate owned files from files shared with you |
