Spacedrive is an open source virtual filesystem, a personal cloud powered by your everyday devices. Feature-rich benefits of the cloud, only its owned and hosted by you with security, privacy and ownership as a foundation. Spacedrive makes it possible to create a limitless directory of your digital life that will stand the test of time.
For each client you install, you'll have another node in your personal network. They all share a single encrypted database and work as a team to perform tasks. Prioritizing peer-to-peer LAN connections but always using end-to-end encryption to synchronize in realtime.
As for UI, it has everything you'd expect from a file explorer and more; a native photo viewer, video and audio player. But also *specific* support for VODs, git repositories, social media backups, NFTs, screenshots, webpage snapshots, links, notes and more. Community extensions can add support for different filetypes and tailored file viewers.
- **Encrypted vault(s)** - Effortlessly manage & encrypt sensitive files, built on top of VeraCrypt. Encrypt individual files or create flexible-size vaults.
- **Key manager** - View, mount, dismount and hide keys. Mounted keys automatically unlock respective areas of your filesystem.
- **Extensions** - Build tools on top of Spacedrive, extend functionality and integrate third party services. Extension directory on [spacedrive.co/extensions](#).
Independent creatives are the new normal, our data is steadily accumulating in the terabytes but the infrastructure hasn’t caught up. Cloud services like Google Photos and iCloud have great features, beautiful UI—but you’re locked in with a very limited capacity. Many people have multiple cloud accounts, drives that aren’t backed up and collecting dust, data at risk of loss. I don't want to be tied to any one cloud provider; a photo album shouldn’t exist only in only my iCloud account, it should be universal and permanent. I believe open source technology is the solution to this, with incredibly an versatile and secure architecture we can create a uniform experience to provide control over vast amounts of data in many environments.
<!-- 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. -->
Spacedrive's core (`sdcorelib`) is written in pure Rust, using the Tauri framework to embed a React app in a native browser window for UI. The mobile app is React Native, with `sdcorelib` embedded as a native binary.
-`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
