What is Seafile?
Seafile is a feature-rich file hosting platform that enables users to store, synchronize, and access their files across various devices and platforms. The software allows users to deploy a central server to host their files, which can then be synchronized with personal computers, mobile devices, and accessed through a web interface. Unlike popular services like Dropbox and Google Drive, Seafile offers a unique advantage - it is free and open-source, allowing users to host their own servers without artificial limitations on storage space or client connections.
Highlights
- lf-hosted file storage and synchronization: Users can deploy Seafile on their own server, either through the free and open-source Community Edition or the subscription-based Professional Edition
- Cross-device file access: Files stored on the Seafile server can be accessed and synchronized across various devices, including personal computers and mobile devices
- Web-based file management: The Seafile web interface enables users to manage their files directly from a browser, without the need for a dedicated client application
- Version control and file restoration: Seafile provides file versioning capabilities, allowing users to restore previous versions of files as needed.
