Teldrive is a self-hosted Go service that turns a Telegram account into a personal cloud drive, organizing files stored on Telegram behind a web UI and API. It supports rclone integration and robust file encryption, offering a faster alternative to Python-based Telegram drive tools.

Use cases

• use telegram as unlimited free cloud storage
• self-host a personal cloud drive backed by telegram
• mount and access telegram storage with rclone
• store and stream files through a telegram account
• encrypt files before uploading them to telegram
• manage telegram files through a web interface instead of the chat app

When to choose

• You want to leverage Telegram's storage as a personal drive with a proper UI and API rather than juggling chats
• You need rclone-compatible access so tools can read and write files stored on Telegram
• You want encrypted file storage on top of Telegram channels
• You prefer a fast, lightweight Go implementation over slower Python-based alternatives

When to avoid

• You cannot tolerate Telegram API limits or the risk of account/channel bans from heavy usage
• You need storage with guaranteed durability, SLAs, or compliance controls that a messaging platform cannot provide
• You require storage infrastructure independent of a third-party messaging service's terms of service
• You need production file storage for a business rather than personal or hobby use
