Virtual project drive for CAD, BIM, point-cloud and media files: local-feeling access on Windows and macOS, safe file locking, immutable version recovery, EU-hosted.

Virtual project drive for heavy CAD, BIM, point-cloud and media files. Files appear local on Windows and macOS, with safe file locking and immutable version recovery.

Orbifs turns terabytes of heavy project files into an ordinary drive on Windows and macOS. CAD, BIM, point-cloud and media files stream on demand from a virtual project drive, so nobody waits for a full sync, fights a VPN, or overwrites a colleague's work with a stale copy.

Native desktop clients mount the drive like a local disk. Safe file locking keeps a single writer on Revit, ArchiCAD or AutoCAD models while everyone else reads, and a LAN cache (beta) brings office-network speed to large opens. Admins get audit export, and the Business plan adds SSO/SAML.

Key benefits:

  • Virtual drive files appear local on Windows and macOS with no sync conflicts
  • File locking one writer at a time on CAD and BIM models
  • Immutable recovery roll back ransomware or accidental deletes from protected versions
  • LAN cache office-network speed for heavy file opens (beta)
  • Team plans 1 to 15 TB and 5 to 50 seats, from 69 euros per month
  • Admin controls audit export on every plan, SSO/SAML on Business

Orbifs stores data in France on OVHcloud infrastructure, replicated across multiple EU data centres and governed by European law. The company behind it, Archi Systems AS, is based in Oslo, Norway (EEA), so GDPR applies by default and there is no US CLOUD Act exposure; a signable DPA and a CSA STAR Level 1 self-assessment are published.

Ideal for architecture and BIM studios, surveyors, contractors and media teams that want Dropbox-simple access to files far too heavy for Dropbox.
