CleanMyDrive 2 is a lightweight disk manager for external and internal drives. It provides quick access to any drive with detailed information on space usage, and cleans hidden junk from external disks. It’s lightning fast and easy to use, with a convenient interface that opens right from the OS X menu bar. CleanMyDrive 2 is the new, improved version of CleanMyDrive, with a beautiful makeover and a whole set of new features. “...A cute little companion to ease up your workflow.” – MacStories "...A nifty utility for people who want an easier way to manage drives." – MacWorld "...Just let it run in the background and keep your drives from accumulating junk." – LifeHacker “I can’t see any reason for you to not install it.” – AppShopper “The app is super simplistic.” – Cult of Mac “It makes storage-related chores a breeze.” – Softpedia With CleanMyDrive 2, you’ll be able to: Prevent issues with external drives after using them on other operating systems. Keep your external drives safe, even when you close your MacBook and unplug them without ejecting in advance. Easily manage storage by knowing the types of files on your drives and how much space they take up. Quickly copy files to any drive by dragging them right into the app. Save time by ejecting all drives with one click or using a global shortcut. Choose a hand-crafted icon for each drive to make it look amazing. What kind of junk does CleanMyDrive 2 get rid of? 1. OS X Service files: .DS_Store, .Spotlight-V100, .TemporaryItems, .fseventsd 2. Windows Service files: Thumbs.db, RECYCLED, RECYCLER, $RECYCLE.BIN 3. Resource forks: files like ._MyPhoto.jpeg 4. Trash, such as files in trash bins that haven’t been emptied. Why should these files be removed? Service files created by OS X and Windows could corrupt your external drive’s compatibility with other devices. For instance, your camera slows down if the SD card has hidden system files. And, they spoil your experience by cluttering the main folder of your disks. You see resource forks when you’ve stored files on your USB stick and want to use them on other devices, such as your TV or car audio system. These devices can’t actually read them, but display them in the folder all the same. You have to scroll through them before you get to the files you actually need. Finally, trash from the bins simply takes space on your drives. And who doesn’t need a little extra disk space?
Surprisingly Functional
I got this originally to clear .ds_store and other crap off non-mac USB drives, which it does easy. The drive eject and notifications are way nicer than how macOS works on it's own. Very useful utility. MacPaw makes good stuff. 💛🇺🇦
Simplicity is a key
Simple, user friendly and effective. A combo that can't be beat. Free is bonus also. But as paid CMM X user, I use it without any regrets :D
Asi es...
Super bueno, lo mejor...
A great little workflow booster
A great little free app that helps me speed my workflow. Can't beat the price and it works as advertised. Highly recommended.
GREAT
It's pretty mkay, guy! The app itself is a 5 star app; I'm only giving it 4 stars for constantly pesterng me to review the app! I understand the developer wants the positive and total review count reflected in the Mac App Store for their nice, useful, and most importantly free app, but once the user agrees to review and subsequently submits the review, ALL notifications should cease! Originally I left a 5 star review, but I changed it to 4 star after I kept recieving the review requests.
Great Tool for Managing Lots of External Drives
Use this thing almost every day to clean and eject drives. Works excellently. Only slight issues is that it sometimes gets into a fight with Disk Utility but quitting Disk Utility usually fixes the issue. Anyways, great app!

Quick and painless. A must have for anyone that uses multiple platforms.
