What separates it from others
What other solutions are there
MultCloud, S3 Drive, rclone, odrive, Resilio Sync.
Some of them are hard to use especially for non-technical users and also they lack multiple features.
MultCloud
seems to be very similar for Sync and Backup but lacks sync with local files. Share is only read only, the files are not kept in sync. Also it’s very buggy, login with Google doesn’t work when you access the shared link, reset pass doesn’t work well, their Google Drive app is still under review and for some reason their Android app is not in store but distributed as APK on their site. Also it lacks encryptionS3 Drive
is a bit harder to setup as it requires some manual config in some cases providing access tokens manually. Also lacks many features like Share, Backup, Encryption. The sync is also quite slowrclone
is great but it’s mostly for geeks, you need to do some manual config and start it, mostly from the console. For Google Drive they have a problem, it is not quite real time Sync from remote to local. It has delay for auto-sync (even if you are listing the content of a folder it doesn’t immediately pickup changes) and does sync on some specific operationsodrive
doesn’t have sync between providers but just offers a unified view between all your providers. For sharing it offers the other person just a view of the shared files in odrive apps, they cannot add the files to their provider for accessing in there and keeping them in sync, or save them locally and keep them in syncResilio Sync
is also great but is not of the scale I’m proposing, it only handles your local files sync, not between storage providers and also doesn’t have such an easy sharing
What all are missing is an easy way to send a file to someone with just the browser for example and Share between storage providers.
What we offer better or additionally
Main 2 ones are:
- True real-time
Sync
and especiallyShare
between storage providers (but also for local files) - Simple and quick way to
Share
files with someone using minimal tools, ideally only a browser
Additionally:
- Receiving files, like S3 presigned URLs but it creates a dest folder where others can upload more files and even folders
- Can combine both local files for Sync and Share and files on storage providers
- Encryption for stored directories
- Backup solution with borgbackup and repo
- Built very efficiently with Rust
- Search and analytics
- WAL (Write-Ahead Logging) to ensure file integrity
- Handles very large files efficiently with concurrent and resumable transfers
- Similar browser, desktop and mobile apps
- Extensive cilents and access, libs, CLI app, REST API and gRPC service
