DriveS is a proposed app that allows a smartphone to function as an external USB drive. It would allow users to store files on their phone and access them from any computer, without needing physical storage drives. The app aims to introduce this concept to the US market through partnerships. It uses uPnP and other technologies to automatically connect phones to networks and share files socially. The developer believes this concept could be globally successful due to its convenience compared to physical drives or cloud storage alternatives.
