Description : A High Quality Cloud Storage with advanced
features on privacy protection and teamwork
Introduction
Seafile is a professional and reliable private cloud storage. Compared
to other cloud storage systems, Seafile focuses on privacy protection
and teamwork.
Collections of files are called libraries, and each library can be
synced separately. A library can be encrypted with a user chosen
password. This password is not stored on the server, so even the
server admin can't view your file contents.
Seafile lets you create groups with file syncing, wiki, and discussion
-- enabling easy collaboration around documents within a team.
Feature Summary
Seafile is a full-fledged cloud storage platform. It has the following features:
Complete and advanced file syncing
Selective synchronization of file libraries. Each library can be
synced separately.
Correct handling of file conflicts, based on history instead of timestamp.
Efficient bandwidth usage. Only transfer contents not in the
server and transfer can be resumed.
Sync with two or more servers.
Sync with existing folders.
Sync a sub-folder.
Full version control with configurable revision number.
Full team collaboration support
Groups with file syncing, wiki, discussion.
Online file editing and comments.
Sharing sub-folders to users/groups
Sharing single file between users
Sharing link.
Personal messages.
Advanced privacy protection
Library encryption with a user chosen password.
Client side encryption.
Never sends the user's password to the server.
Internal
Seafile's version control model is based on Git, but it's simplified
for automatic synchronization, and you don't need Git installed to run
Seafile. Each Seafile library behaves like a Git repository. It has
its own unique history, which consists of a list of commits. A commit
points to the root of a file system snapshot. The snapshot consists of
directories and files. Files are further divided into blocks for more
efficient network transfer and storage usage.
Differences from Git:
Automatic synchronization.
Clients do not store file history, thus avoids the overhead of
storing data twice. Git is not efficient for larger files (such as
images).
Files are further divided into blocks for more efficient network
transfer and storage usage.
File transfer can be paused and resumed.
Support for different storage backends on the server side.
Support for downloading from multiple block servers to accelerate
file transfer.
More user-friendly file conflict handling (adds user's name as a
suffix to conflicted file).
Graceful handling of files the user modifies while auto-sync is
running. Git is not designed to work in these cases.
