Spacedrive is an open-source cross-platform file explorer powered by a virtual distributed filesystem written in Rust. It indexes files across local disks, NAS, and cloud storage (S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Azure, GCS), syncs metadata P2P between devices, and provides a local-first unified interface for browsing, searching, and managing all your data.

Use cases

• browse files across all my devices and cloud storage in one app
• deduplicate files across machines using content hashes
• sync file metadata between devices without a cloud server
• index my NAS and S3 buckets alongside local drives
• search files scattered across laptops, external drives, and phones
• replace Finder and Explorer with a cross-platform file manager
• give AI agents safe structured access to my files
• run a headless file server for my indexed data

When to choose

• your files are scattered across multiple devices, drives, NAS, and cloud providers
• you want local-first, P2P metadata sync with no cloud dependency
• you need content-based deduplication and cross-device file awareness
• you want a unified search and browsing layer above your OS file manager
• you want to expose your files to AI agents through structured, permissioned APIs

When to avoid

• you just need a simple native file manager replacement for one machine
• you require fully open-source licensing (it uses FSL-1.1-ALv2, not OSI-approved)
• you need mature, battle-tested stability for critical production storage workflows
• you only use a single device with no cloud storage
