Everything a Modern Drive Needs
Powerful drive capabilities with AI orchestration — all self-hosted on your infrastructure.
S3-Compatible Storage
MinIO-based object storage with full S3 API compatibility. Upload, download, version, and organize files with folder navigation and drag-drop support.
AI-Powered Search
Semantic search across all your files. Find documents by meaning, not just filename. Full-text and vector search combined for instant results.
Secure Sharing
Create time-limited share links with password protection and download limits. Control access with granular permissions per folder or file.
Encryption at Rest
All files encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS in transit. Self-hosted means your data never leaves your infrastructure.
Version History
Automatic versioning with full history. Restore any previous version, compare changes, and audit file access with complete traceability.
