Best for

Mac users with large video, photo, or archive libraries who need space without buying a new machine.

Why it deserves attention

helumi adds a drive to Finder that looks and behaves like local storage, but keeps the files in end-to-end encrypted cloud storage and uses zero bytes on the Mac. Large videos stream on demand rather than downloading first, and files can be shared by link with 30-day recovery after deletion. Pricing starts at $10 a month for 1 TB and scales up to 7 TB, billed monthly or yearly with cancellation at any time. The app is free to download, requires macOS 26.2, and reports more than 486 users; public revenue tracking shows about $1,200 a month. The trade-off is a subscription plus a network dependency for cloud-only files, and the product is still young.
