BearDrive is an open-source shared folder specifically designed for your team's AI agents. When your AI agents create real files locally—such as reports, slide decks, CSV files, and research—BearDrive seamlessly syncs the folder they already work in. This ensures that every generated file is born shared, automatically versioned, and attributed down to the specific agent session, utilizing secure links that only your team can open.

Unlike traditional storage solutions like Notion or Google Drive, BearDrive requires no manual file moving. A teammate's agent can read your agent's generated work at a real, local file path within seconds of its creation. Built to fit into modern development and AI workflows, BearDrive is fully open-source, self-hostable, and compatible with any local tool, including Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, and Gemini CLI. Its managed service is currently free during the beta phase.
