Stone Project Drive — User Guide

The Stone Project Drive companion app mounts your company files as a disk on Mac or Windows, similar to Google Drive File Stream.

Install

1. Download from Settings → Integrations → Stone Project Drive in the Stone Project app (Mac/Windows), or from GitHub Releases.
2. Run the installer (.dmg on Mac, StoneProjectDrive-Setup.exe on Windows).
3. Launch Stone Project Drive from Applications or the Start menu.

Sign in

1. Enter your Stone Project email and password.
2. The app connects to your company automatically.
3. Signing in on the desktop does not sign you out of the Stone Project mobile or web app.
4. Enable Mount automatically when signed in if you want the drive on every login.

Mount the drive

• Click Mount Drive — your files appear at:
• macOS: ~/Stone Project Drive
• Windows: R:
• Use Open folder to jump to the mount in Finder or Explorer.

What is in the drive

The drive mirrors how the app organises your files, so a folder here holds the same files you see on the matching screen in Stone Project.

Clients/
  Acme Stone/
    Client Files/          files attached to the client, with no project
    P-00132 · Kitchen Countertop/   one folder per project, same label as the app
    P-00147 · Master Bath/
Accounts/                  files attached to an account
Activities/                files from activities that do not belong to a project
Company Assets/            company logo and shared media (read-only)

A client only appears under Clients/ when it has a project or a file of its own, so the list stays close to the work you actually have.

If two clients share a name, the first folder keeps that name. The next ones get a suffix — the city (and state, when filled in), otherwise the last four digits of the phone, otherwise (2). Files of the second client live in the suffixed folder; opening the unsuffixed name always opens the first client.

Paths that start with Projects/ still work if you saved a shortcut or pinned a folder before this layout, even though the folder is no longer listed.

Sync progress

While the drive downloads a pinned folder, the app window shows which folder it is scanning, the file it is on, and a count such as 34/120 files. If a folder is empty in Finder, check that count first: the drive may still be working through the list.

Offline folders

1. Browse folders in the companion window (Open / Up to navigate).
2. Select a project folder and click Pin.
3. Pinned folders stay available without internet.
