What problem it solves

People need a unified way to browse files kept across different storage services. The project provides a file list and WebDAV interface for working with multiple storage backends from one place.

Key features

• Multiple storage backends — The project supports local storage, cloud drives, object storage, network protocols, and other storage services behind a common file list.

  Source: README, drivers

• File browsing and previews — Files can be previewed across several formats, including documents, images, video, audio, code, plain text, and README files.

• WebDAV access — WebDAV provides another interface for accessing stored files, including supported OneDrive and SharePoint connections that do not use an API.

• File management — Users can upload, delete, create directories, rename, move, copy, package, and download files and folders through the interface.

• Deployment and access controls — Deployment is available through Docker, and protected routes support password protection and authentication. The interface also includes dark mode and internationalization.

Who it may suit

Inference: This project may suit people who manage files across several storage services and want a unified browser, WebDAV access, preview, and file-management interface.

Topics to discuss

• Which storage backends are most important to support next?

• How should authentication and protected routes be configured for shared deployments?

• Which file-management and preview workflows need improvement?
