Your files, shared on your terms.

A private drive with 25 GB free. Share any file with a link you control: for named people, for anyone signed in, or a public download page. Back up a folder from your computer with one command.

Open source. The bytes live in OpenVibe.Media; this service holds the names, the folders and the share links.

What you get

A drive, not a locker: everything here is yours, and everything you hand out can be taken back.

Your own driveFolders and files, private to you: 25 GB stored, up to 2 GB in one file.

Share linksOne link per file or folder, expiring in an hour to 30 days, revocable at any moment, with its downloads counted.

You choose who opens itNamed OpenVibe accounts, anyone signed in, or a public download page for anyone with the link.

Reports that actEvery share page has a Report form. Three different people reporting a share — or one report of illegal content — suspends it at once and puts it in front of OpenVibe staff.

BackupsKeep a folder on your computer copied into your drive with the openvibe-download command. It sends only what is new or changed.

An APIEverything the pages do, over /api/v1 with your OpenVibe sign-in: upload, list, share, move, rename and revoke.

Drop and goDrop files anywhere on the page, many at once. A tray shows each one going up, and the list updates when they are in.

Find anythingSearch every folder by name. Sort by newest, name or size, and see your files as a grid of pictures or a list.

A bin for 30 daysDelete puts a file in the bin, its links stopped at once. Restore it any time in 30 days, or empty the bin yourself.

How it works

Four steps, and the last one is the point.

Sign inOpenVibe.Network signs you in. Your session stays in an httpOnly cookie on this site.
UploadDrop files anywhere on Your files, or tap New. Big ones go up in parts, each with its progress in the tray, up to 2 GB a file.
ShareMake a link that expires in an hour to 30 days, public or for signed-in people, and optionally name the OpenVibe usernames allowed to open it.
Take it backRevoke a link and it stops working at once. Delete a file and its shares go with it, and Media is asked to drop the bytes.

Back up a folder from your computer

Make a sync key on the Backups page, then run this on your computer (Node.js 20 or newer). It copies only new and changed files, up to 1,000 a day, and the Backups page explains its options.

Terminal

export OPENVIBE_DOWNLOAD_KEY=<your sync key>
npx -y -p https://codeload.github.com/OpenVibers/OpenVibe.SDK/tar.gz/refs/tags/v0.49.0 openvibe-download sync ~/Documents --to Backups/laptop

Questions

Is OpenVibe.Download free?

Yes. A free OpenVibe account gets 25 GB of storage, files up to 2 GB each and 50 uploads a day.

Who can open a file I share?

Only the people you choose: named OpenVibe accounts, anyone signed in, or anyone with the link on a public download page. Every link expires in an hour to 30 days, and you can revoke it at any time.

How do backups work?

Make a sync key on the Backups page and run the openvibe-download command on your computer, once or on a schedule. It sends only new or changed files into a folder of your drive, and it never deletes anything there unless you ask it to.

Can I upload without an account?

No. Uploading needs a signed-in OpenVibe account, so every file has an owner who can share it, take it back and delete it.

Where are my files kept?

In OpenVibe.Media, the network's own media service. Deleting a file here asks Media to delete it too, and deleting your OpenVibe account deletes your files.

What is not allowed?

Illegal content, malware, and anything shared to harm someone. Every share page has a Report form, and staff act on reports. The safety rules spell it all out.
