FolderDrive, a 128GB USB-C flash drive, brings the iconic macOS folder to life as a pocket-sized gadget that’s as nostalgic as it is handy. Dreamed up by David Delahunty and brought to reality with Super Fantastic, this little drive is a tribute to Apple’s classic design, mimicking the light blue folder that’s been a Mac staple forever.
Delahunty, a designer with a talent for turning wild ideas into reality, is no stranger to offbeat creations—such as MS Paint-inspired makeup or tennis balls styled like Apple’s spinning beach ball. But FolderDrive feels like his sharpest idea yet, blending whimsy with focus. Teaming up with Super Fantastic, a crew known for crafting niche collectibles, he’s built a device that’s both a nod to Apple’s design roots and a practical tool. The drive nails the look of the MacOS folder icon, down to its subtle beveled edges and familiar shade, though Delahunty’s social media teases other colors for those who want a twist.

- Free up space on your Android smartphone (mobile device requires USB Type C port and on the go (OTG) support)
OOn the practical side, FolderDrive isn’t trying to outmuscle high-end SSDs or heavy-duty storage. The USB-C port is not only compatible with modern Macs, but also iPads, and even Windows PCs. Pricing is unknown at this time, but once released, it will be limited to just 100-units, or at least for the first batch. Super Fantastic’s site touts its plug-and-play ease—no drivers or software needed, perfectly in tune with Apple’s keep-it-simple vibe.
What makes FolderDrive special is its obsessive attention to detail. It’s sized to match the on-screen folder it’s based on, giving you a weirdly satisfying sense of holding a piece of your desktop. Plugging it into your MacBook feels like dragging a folder from your screen into real life—a tactile thrill that screams Delahunty’s design passion.
FolderDrive lands at a fascinating time in tech. As Apple charges ahead with macOS 26 Tahoe, debuted at WWDC with a sleek “liquid glass” look, FolderDrive pulls you back to the days when Mac interfaces felt warm and familiar, with folders that looked like actual folders. It’s a playful nod to that skeuomorphic era, wrapped in a modern package. Set to drop soon on Super Fantastic’s online store, it’s ready to win over Mac fans and design geeks alike.
