Clean and eject external drives.

Developer website

Overview

CleanMyDrive lets you maintain your removable drives as easy as never before with CleanMyDrive! It cleans up needless service junk generated by Windows or Mac OS (DS_Store, Thumbs.db, Spotlight, hidden trashes and so on). It also helps you to manage your external drives.

Main Features:
  • Clean up drives from junk manually or automatically
  • Eject all external drives with one click
  • Access and eject your drives right from the main menu
  • Monitor free space on your drives
  • Works with external HDD, flash drives, DMG files and network volumes
How CleanMyDrive helps you in real life:
  • Cleans those annoying service files that your media player fails to play
  • Erases files from your drives, not just moves them to Trash like Finder
  • Removes thumbs.db and other Windows files that bring no value
  • Ejects all drives at once correctly when you hurry your Mac into sleep mode

It’s a decent app, but it needs to stop recommending me the rest of their products (that I already own and have installed mind you) after buying the in-app purchases.

When CleanMyDrive 2 is allowed to "Launch on system startup," which is its default setting, it somehow causes ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginitems.plist to be mostly obliterated.

Ma se non l'hai capito perché metti una stella? Astieniti dal dare giudizi negativi.
Comunque: pulisce una chiavetta USB (o altro supporto formattato per Windows) da file che si vedono in un PC mentre in Mac sono invisibili.

I simply love this app. It's very unobtrusive, allows one to eject a drive without having to open finder, and cleans drives of files that are seen as "junk" by windows. Unfortunately, after a couple of months (and only by accident, when solving a problem using gfxCardStatus), I found out that this alone is responsible for a decrease in 20%+ of my Macbook Pro runtime. Why? Because once you click on it, it switches the discrete graphics card on, and never again switches it off. From then on, every app uses the discrete graphics card, consuming a LOT more power than needed. If you use it in a desktop computer (iMac, Mac mini, Mac Pro), consider this review a FIVE STAR review. Otherwise, consider it a TWO star review. I can't imagine why would you use the discrete graphics card for such a simple app, much less when only the icon is on the menu bar. I'm currently not using it.

This is more a question for the Developer, but does anyone know if this was fixed in the recency-released CleanMyDrive 2 (2015 December 8)? I generally like the app and its setup, but remember this being an issue way back when I first started using it.

I've love to have all ignored drives (e.g. larger than x GB) not appear in the drop down menu on the menubar.

Nice and unobtrusive (other than the upsell to CleanMyMac). When I eject a drive I see some animation (?) moving from upper-left to the upper-right of my screen. It's too fast to see what it is but it looks like crap. This is as it's cleaning the .ds_store files from my drive. Other than that, it's perfect.

Simple need, simple solution: dang dot underscore files were driving me crazy when transferring files to an exFAT drive intended for a media server. I lacked the stomach and patience to manually dabble in Terminal nor Windows deletion toward this end. Clean My Drive works wonderfully in 10.8 toward this end, sports an easy-to-use interface and design. Let alone being free. I'm also a big fan of its quick eject feature, also shortcut to access the HD/attached drives via the menu bar.

I've tried it because its free, but you need to reduce foot print (It use 49MB RAM, instead other similar only 9MB), and need simplify the GUI, its to big. I like the idea that i only run this kind app when i want plug non mac drive, but unfortunately it cost more RAM than app that i use now with sit in prefpane. Hope see improvement in next release, i'll try it again.
