Synclet

Synclet turns a folder on your server into a cloud drive you can use from the browser, your Mac, your iPhone and your Android phone. Underneath it's still just a folder: no blobs in a database, no metadata files in your folders. Point Synclet at the files you already have and they show up right away. Stop using it tomorrow and everything is exactly where you left it.

The web app previews photos (HEIC too), videos, PDFs and text, searches inside your documents, and lets you move, copy or download many files at once. On the Mac your files appear in Finder and download only when you open them. On iPhone, iPad and Android they show up in the Files app and the system file picker, and you can save to Synclet from any app.

Synclet is made for sharing at home: shared folders for the family and the NAS shares you already have, with read or write access per person or group. You also get share links with a password and expiry date, a trash, optional file versions, optional Office editing in the browser (Euro-Office), and single sign-on via OIDC or forward-auth.

It runs as one small Docker Compose stack on Linux, a NAS or anything else with Docker. Free and open source under the MIT license.
