Drivebase

Drivebase is a self-hosted file management platform that acts as a single dashboard for all your cloud and local storage. Instead of logging into Google Drive, then Dropbox, then an S3 bucket, you connect them all to Drivebase once. You can then browse, search, and manage files across these different services as if they were one big drive. It supports a wide range of providers including Google Drive, AWS S3, Dropbox, FTP, Nextcloud, and even local disks.

What makes Drivebase stand out is its focus on being a unified control layer you host yourself. It's open-source and built with a modular provider system, so you can add new storage types. Key features include a secure Vault for end-to-end encrypted files, a built-in WebDAV server for remote access, and automated rules to send uploads to specific providers. It also handles background transfers between clouds, so you can move files from Dropbox to S3 without downloading and re-uploading them manually.

This tool is built for developers, IT teams, and businesses that use multiple cloud storage services and want to simplify access and control. It's ideal for companies that need to keep data on their own infrastructure for security or compliance reasons. Real-world use cases include giving a team a single search interface for all company documents, automating file backup across different clouds, and creating a secure collaboration space without sharing direct access to underlying cloud accounts.
