Foxel is a self-hosted private cloud storage application that unifies file management across pluggable storage backends (S3, WebDAV, cloud drives, Telegram, etc.) with built-in previews and sharing. It adds AI-powered semantic search over images and documents using configurable embedding providers and vector databases like Milvus and Qdrant.

Use cases

• self-host a private cloud drive for personal files and photos
• manage files spread across S3, WebDAV, and cloud drives from one interface
• search photos and documents by natural language description
• share files with password-protected expiring links
• set fine-grained permissions for team file access
• preview images, videos, and PDFs in the browser without downloading

When to choose

• you want a self-hosted alternative to cloud drives with unified multi-backend storage
• you need semantic search over your personal photo and document archive
• you need RBAC and audit logging for team file sharing
• you want an extensible drive with a plugin system

When to avoid

• you only need simple single-backend file hosting without search
• you need enterprise-grade scale or compliance certifications
• you want a fully managed hosted solution
