Frequently Asked QuestionsWill BeeDrive work with my computer, phone, or tablet?

For backup and mobility (computer, phone, and tablet):

BeeDrive requires a computer with one of the following operating systems:

  • Windows 10 64-bit (1809 or later)
  • Windows 11 and above, excluding Windows 10 on ARM and Windows Server editions
  • macOS 12 and newer
For mobile and tablet photo backup and BeeDrop, BeeDrive requires:
  • iOS 15 or later
  • Android 10 or later

For Deep Search:

Deep Search requires a computer with the following specifications:

  • macOS: macOS 15 or later with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) and at least 16 GB of RAM
  • Windows: Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 processor, an NVIDIA GPU with 6GB VRAM ( RTX 2060 newer models) and at least 16 GB of RAM

Do I need an Internet connection to back up my computer or mobile device to BeeDrive?

An Internet connection is only needed for installation and setup. After that:

  • Computer backup and file sync work offline
  • Photo backup and BeeDrop need Internet on both devices
  • On the same local network, the app connects directly to BeeDrive for faster speed, and will use the Internet only if local connection is not available
Deep Search also runs locally on your computer, so both indexing and search work offline. With Internet, you can enable optional features like photo location indexing and cross-language search, which can be turned off anytime.

Can I back up multiple phones or tablets to BeeDrive?

Yes, you can back up 5 mobile devices at once.

Can I back up my photos using cellular data?

Yes, although backing up over Wi-Fi is generally faster since it is not constrained by the Internet speed of your phone and computer. Please keep in mind that if you intend to back up remotely, ensure that the computer is connected to BeeDrive, running the BeeDrive desktop software, and not in sleep mode.

What file types does Deep Search support?

Deep Search works with many common image and document formats, including jpg, png, heic, gif, bmp, tif, and raw images, as well as pdf, docx, pptx, xlsx, csv, and txt documents. See the full list and details.

What languages does Deep Search support?

Deep Search currently supports 12 languages including Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

Can I use Deep Search on my phone?

At the moment, Deep Search requires a computer to run AI indexing and interpret your searches, so it is not available in the BeeDrive mobile app.

How long will the index take?

On an M3 MacBook, Deep Search can index about 30,000–40,000 photos per day or around 100 documents in 20–30 minutes, depending on file size and content. Large PDFs with hundreds of pages take longer. Small updates usually finish within minutes.

I’m considering encrypting my BeeDrive using BitLocker on Windows or Disk Utility on macOS. Will BeeDrive’s desktop or mobile apps continue to function after encryption?

Absolutely. As long as you unlock BeeDrive through BitLocker on Windows or Disk Utility on macOS whenever you connect it to your computer, BeeDrive will work.
It’s worth noting that after unlocking BeeDrive, you might need to open the BeeDrive desktop app and click on Search Again to initiate its operation. Once done, the desktop app will perform backups and sync with your computer folders.

Why do I need to enable Kernel Extension settings on my Apple-silicon based Mac to run BeeDrive for desktop app?

Apple silicon-based Mac blocks third-party apps' kernel extension by default, therefore BeeDrive requires users to manually enable the Kernal Extension to function properly. Along the setup process, you will need to adjust the Security Policy of the Mac to "Reduced Security" and "Allow user management of kernel extensions from identified developers" from your Mac’s System settings.
Please note that Security Policy mentioned here does not relate to safeguarding your mac from malware. It only allows BeeDrive to install the needed kernel extension, which is also approved by Apple. Please see the step-by-step guide to complete the setup.

Note:Deep Search requires macOS 15 or later with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) and at least 16 GB of RAM, or Windows with an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 processor, an NVIDIA GPU with 6GB VRAM (RTX 2060 newer models) and at least 16 GB of RAM.PDF can be opened directly on macOS Preview, while Windows requires Acrobat Reader for page-jump. Office files need Microsoft Office for proper page navigation. Excel preview is not supported.Deep Search runs locally on your computer and does not upload file content to Synology or the cloud. Optional features like photo location search and cross-language search may use external databases or macOS translation services, both of which can be turned off.To use the BeeDrive mobile app, your BeeDrive must be connected to your computer, and the computer must remain turned on and awake.
