How it works
Deploy, invite, and share securely.
01
Deploy it privately
Install OpenPrivateDrive on a VPS, dedicated server, or private infrastructure you control.
02
Invite your users
Create private workspaces, folders, permissions, encrypted uploads, and storage rules.
03
Share securely
Share with internal users or request files from external partners using protected one-time links.
Key features
Everything needed for a private team drive.
Total privacy
Bypass the public cloud. Your files stay on your hardware, under your legal jurisdiction.
Zero data leakage
Strict user isolation ensures your internal documents are never visible to unauthorized parties.
Secure file collection
Receive large files from clients safely using one-time upload links with optional passwords.
AES-256-GCM encrypted uploads
Protect sensitive assets with AES-256-GCM encryption, making physical disk theft useless.
Instant productivity
Full-text search and browser previews let you work as fast as any major cloud provider.
Mobile freedom
Sync and access your data on the go with a native Android experience and secure API.
Partner upload links
Request files without email attachments or third-party transfer tools.
Create a one-time upload link, protect it with an optional password, limit max files and total size, and receive files directly in your private drive.
External File Collection
Request files from external partners without third-party tools.
Create a secure upload request link for a partner, supplier, client, or contractor. They can send requested documents directly into your private drive using a one-time link and optional password — no email attachments, no external file-transfer service, and no account required.
One-time upload links
Deactivate automatically after first use.
Optional password
Require a password before files can be sent.
Upload limits
Control max files and total size.
Private destination
Files arrive directly in your selected folder.
Security benefit: external partners upload to your private OpenPrivateDrive instance instead of sending sensitive files through email attachments or third-party transfer platforms.
