Frequently asked questions
Which app should I install?
Most people need just drift-offline on the desktop and drift on their phone. The others are optional:
- CGP Drive keeps a local folder in sync with your CGP file storage and adds sharing to Explorer and Finder.
- drift-Companion sits in the system tray for calls, meetings and chat.
Does drift really work offline?
Yes. drift-offline stores mail bodies, attachments, contacts, calendar, notes and tasks on disk after the first sync. You can read, reply, flag, move and delete without a connection. The changes wait in a local outbox and are sent to the server automatically when you're back online.
Which Linux package should I choose?
On Debian, Ubuntu and their derivatives, use the .deb package (sudo apt install ./drift-offline-linux-amd64.deb). On any other distribution, use the AppImage: make it executable with chmod +x and start it.
Is there a build for Intel Macs?
The current macOS builds are for Apple Silicon (M1 and later). On an Intel Mac, you can use drift in the browser on your CommuniGate Pro server.
