## What it is
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
