Unified, secure file explorer across devices and clouds
Spacedrive is a cross‑platform file manager that unifies local drives, cloud services, and external storage into a single, secure virtual distributed filesystem built with Rust.
Spacedrive offers a unified file management experience that brings together local disks, cloud accounts, and external drives under a single virtual distributed filesystem (VDFS). Built with a Rust core and a modern PRRTT stack (Prisma, Rust, React, TypeScript, Tauri), it delivers a native feel on macOS, Windows, and Linux while keeping memory and bundle size low.
The tool targets independent creators, digital hoarders, and privacy‑focused users who want full ownership of their data across multiple platforms. It also appeals to developers who wish to extend the VDFS core or embed it in custom services.
Spacedrive ships as a Tauri desktop app, with React Native mobile versions planned for iOS and Android. The Rust core (sdcore) can be compiled into a server, CLI, or embedded library, and the repository provides a contributing guide for building from source. Development is currently paused due to funding constraints, but the codebase remains fully functional and open for community contributions.
When teams consider Spacedrive, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Consolidate personal media library
All photos, videos, and documents from Google Drive, iCloud, and external HDD appear in a single searchable interface.
Secure backup of project files across devices
Real‑time sync ensures the latest versions are available on laptop, desktop, and NAS without duplication.
Self‑hosted file sharing for a small team
Team members access shared folders via the desktop or web app, with end‑to‑end encryption.
Developers extending the VDFS core
Rust core can be embedded in custom services or CLI tools for automated file operations.
Yes, it is free and open source under the AGPL‑3.0 license.
Desktop apps are available for macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), Windows, and Linux. Mobile apps for iOS and Android are planned.
It maintains a virtual index of all storage locations, synchronizes metadata in real time, and uses content‑addressable storage to uniquely identify files.
Yes, the repository includes a contributing guide; the core is written in Rust and can be compiled for desktop, web, or server use.
Development is currently paused due to funding constraints, but the team hopes to resume when possible.
