<!-- Spacedrive is a cross-platform file manager that brings the convenience of the cloud to your own private network. Designed specifically for independent creatives. -->
Spacedrive is a privacy-first, open source, virtual filesystem—powered by your devices in unison. The benefits of the cloud, owned and controlled by you through a single directory representing your entire digital life, synchronized in realtime between devices.
<!-- Streamline ingesting and sorting media such as screenshots, photos, OBS recordings, code repositories—virtually anything, even NFTs. -->

## Motivation
With a cultural boom of independent creatives there is a lack of tools to support the ever increasing amount of data accumulated. Cloud services have great features, but require your content to be *in* the cloud to benefit from them. For most creators a 50GB OBS recording is just not convenient to upload.
I believe, in the advent of web3, we need to control and own our own data portfolios, not cloud companies. One uniform way to track, organize, back-up, share, encrypt and view an unlimited amount of data, not locking into a single provider and living within their limits.
## Architecture
Spacedrive's core is written in pure Rust, with a web based Typescript React UI and native binaries to support additional functionality per platform.
-`core`: the [Rust]() core logic library, referred to internally as `sdcorelib`
-`state`: the [TypeScript]() core logic library
-`ui`: a [React Native]() / [RNW]() component library
-`config`: `eslint` configurations (includes `eslint-config-next`, `eslint-config-prettier` and all `tsconfig.json` configs used throughout the monorepo
