Cloudreve: Build Your Private Cloud Storage and Say Goodbye to Speed Limits
What is Cloudreve?
Cloudreve is a free cloud storage program that supports mounting third-party storage, public/private deployment solutions, multiple upload policies, online preview, file sharing links, and WebDAV functionality.
You can use Cloudreve to build a personal cloud drive, a file sharing system, or a public cloud system for groups of all sizes.
Simply put, it's an open-source cloud storage system. You can think of it as a "self-hosted Baidu Netdisk," but it's much better to use.

How to Use
After the application is installed, open the login page and first register a user.

After logging in, you will enter the homepage.

Click the + button at the bottom to upload files.
You can see the result after the upload is complete.

Files can be previewed online.

When you need to share a file with a friend, right-click the file and select "Create share link." You can set an access password and expiration time, which is much more convenient than transferring files via WeChat.

Uploaded files are automatically categorized on the left sidebar.

Click the link; iOS supports client operations.

You can map the cloud drive to your local system for management, or use other file managers that support the WebDAV protocol for seamless cross-platform operation.
This feature is really great. You can operate the cloud drive just like a local folder, completely seamlessly.
Uploaded files can be viewed in the application data.

Summary
Cloudreve is a simple and concise cloud drive, perfectly sufficient for personal use. Compared to those commercial cloud drives that often charge fees and limit speeds, Cloudreve offers us a perfect alternative.
If you are looking for a reliable cloud storage solution, whether for personal use or small team collaboration, Cloudreve is definitely worth trying.
