Motivation

With a cultural boom of independent creatives there is a lack of tools to support the ever increasing amount of data accumulated. Cloud services have great features, but require your content to be in the cloud to benefit from them. For most creators a 50GB OBS recording is just not convenient to upload.

I believe, in the advent of web3, we need to control and own our own data portfolios, not cloud companies. One uniform way to track, organize, back-up, share, encrypt and view an unlimited amount of data, not locking into a single provider and living within their limits.

Architecture

Spacedrive's core is written in pure Rust, with a web based Typescript React UI and native binaries to support additional functionality per platform.
