- 2. Oxygen Desktop (Win & Mac)
The Oxygen desktop client appears as a
native drive on your computer.
You can interact with your Oxygen drive the
same way you would your “C:” drive or “Hard
Disk”.
It is directly mapped to your storage and
displays everything you have access to in a
familiar file structure.

files that you need to access or make edits to.

and saves space on your devices.
