Pydio Cells is a self-hosted, open-core document sharing, collaboration and management platform written in Go with a microservice architecture. It provides workspaces, secure sharing, sync clients, REST APIs, and a no-code automation engine (Cells Flows), with free Home and paid Connect/Enterprise editions.

Use cases

  • self-hosted file sharing for my organization
  • replace Dropbox/WeTransfer with an on-premise solution
  • share files securely with public links and access controls
  • sync files across desktop and mobile devices
  • automate file management tasks like thumbnails, antivirus scans, and backups
  • integrate LDAP/SSO authentication with my file platform
  • expose files via WebDAV, SFTP, or REST API
  • collaborate on documents with OnlyOffice/Collabora online editing

When to choose

  • you need full data control and self-hosting for compliance or privacy reasons
  • you want enterprise features like SSO, LDAP, audit logs, and granular access rules
  • you need large-file transfer, sync clients, and sharing in one platform
  • you want no-code workflow automation around file operations
  • you prefer a mature Go-based microservice architecture with REST APIs and SDKs

When to avoid

  • you only need a simple lightweight file server or static hosting
  • you want a fully free open-source solution with all enterprise features (SSO, MFA, audits are paid tiers)
  • you need a SaaS-managed solution without infrastructure to maintain
  • your team cannot run MySQL/MariaDB and manage a multi-service deployment
  • you want minimal resource usage on a small device
