Cloud storage built for PDFs and the work you do with them
Every file you edit, sign, compress or convert lands in your private Drive automatically. Organize it in folders, share it with a link that expires, and open it in any PDFbat tool with one click.

Your documents, in one place, ready for the next step
Most people juggle PDFs across a downloads folder, email attachments and a general purpose cloud service. Each time you want to edit, sign or compress a file you download it, upload it to a tool, then download the result and upload it somewhere else. PDFbat Drive removes those steps.
Drive is part of your PDFbat account. Upload files once, keep them organized in folders, and run any PDFbat tool on them directly. When a tool finishes, the result is saved to your Drive next to the original, so nothing gets lost in a downloads folder and you always know which version is the latest.
Files travel over HTTPS and stay private to your account. Nobody else can see them unless you create a share link, and you decide how long that link works.
Why keep your PDFs in PDFbat Drive
Every result saved automatically
Merged, compressed, signed or edited files are stored in Drive the moment a tool finishes. Download them again any time.
Open in any tool
Open a PDF in the editor, start Fill and Sign, send it for signature or run any of the 30+ tools straight from the file menu.
Folders that match your work
Create folders for clients, projects or tax years. Drag and drop files, or upload a whole folder from your computer at once.
Share links that expire
Share a file with anyone through a link that lasts 1 day, 7 days, 30 days or 1 year. Turn it off whenever you like.
A safety net for mistakes
Deleted items go to the trash first. Restore them with one click, or let them be removed for good after 30 days.
Room to grow
1 GB free, 10 GB with Pro for $4 a month, and extra 10 GB blocks for $2.99 a month when you need more.

- Preview

Storage plans
Drive space is shared by everything in your account: uploads, tool results and signed documents.
- Free: 1 GB of storage, included with every account. No credit card needed.
- Pro, $4 a month: 10 GB of storage, plus unlimited tool tasks, unlimited signature envelopes and files up to 100 MB.
- Extra storage, $2.99 a month per 10 GB: add as many blocks as you need on top of your plan.
If your Drive fills up, tools keep working and you can still download every result. New results simply are not saved to Drive until you free up space or add storage.
Who uses PDFbat Drive
- Freelancers and small businesses keep contracts, invoices and signed agreements per client, and share finished files with a link instead of a large attachment.
- Students and job seekers store compressed copies of certificates and IDs ready for the next upload portal.
- Households keep scanned bills, warranties and tax documents in folders by year, made searchable with OCR.
- Developers use the Drive endpoints of the API to save processed files where their team can open them in the browser.
