yourdrive - Self-hosted cloud file storage
yourdrive is a self-hosted cloud storage platform designed to give individuals and teams total control over their data by connecting directly to their own object storage backends. Instead of routing files through a proprietary third-party ecosystem, the software runs on a private server using a single-command Docker installation and streams files straight to cloud buckets like AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Azure Blob Storage, MinIO, or Wasabi. It eliminates per-seat fees entirely, letting organizations scale their user count without incurring extra charges per teammate while maintaining complete privacy and data ownership.
Key Features
- Storage Agnostic: Connects to any S3-compatible or Azure Blob storage bucket, automatically detecting the provider from the endpoint URL.
- Streaming Uploads: Routes file uploads straight from the browser to the underlying storage bucket without utilizing local server disk space.
- Media Timeline: Organizes photos and videos into a chronological view grouped by month and year for quick browsing.
- Drag-and-Drop Management: Supports deep nested folder structures with live drop-target highlighting and instant batch or single-file relocations.
- Credential Encryption: Secures all storage connection strings and keys using AES-256-GCM before writing them to the database.
- User Management: Allows administrators to invite team members, configure user permissions, and enforce storage caps depending on the deployment tier.
The platform suits developers, families, homelab enthusiasts, and corporate teams looking for a privacy-focused alternative to mainstream cloud drives. It operates completely offline with zero telemetry and features a free Community edition for personal use, alongside paid Team and upcoming Business plans that introduce single sign-on, audit logs, and shared link policies.
