Connect Any Storage, Instantly
Mount Google Drive, S3, Dropbox, and 60+ more providers. One authentication per backend, then access everything through a single HTTP interface.
Speak Every Storage Protocol
FTP, SFTP, SMB, WebDAV, HTTP, and HDFS — mount network storage using whatever protocol your infrastructure already speaks.
More Than File Hosting
Stream, hash, preview, zip, journal, and process images — all through a single HTTP interface that works across every backend.
Read & Stream
Stream any file over HTTP from local storage or any mounted cloud backend. Supports HTML, JSON, and plain-text response formats.
SHA256 Integrity
Compute SHA256 or MD5 hashes without downloading the full file. Critical for production deployments, backup verification, and compliance.
Archive Preview
Inspect .tar.gz and .zip contents without extracting the archive. List entries, sizes, and paths instantly.
Directory as .zip
Download any directory as a .zip archive on demand. Works for local storage and remote cloud backends alike.
File Journal & History
Every mutation is recorded with a content-addressable blob snapshot. Read any file at any past revision or timestamp, diff between versions.
Image Processing
On-the-fly resize, format conversion, blur, and grayscale for JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP — from any storage backend.
21 Endpoints. One Interface.
Read, write, manage backends, and monitor the journal — everything exposed as plain HTTP. No SDK required.
