Description

An open, secure, and lightweight platform where you can self-host your files and data in the cloud.

Problems to solve

• Expensive / limited cloud storage options
• Anyone at Google / Dropbox can see your files
• Alternatives only handle files, and not other data
• Google and Dropbox don't offer cross platform sync clients

Our Solution

Freehold is lightweight and fast. It can run on anything from a $35 Raspberry Pi, to a multi-core cloud VPS.

Freehold-sync is a cross platform application that connects to Freehold to keep all your files in sync, allowing you to create your own open, secure, and inexpensive Google Drive / Dropbox alternative.

Freehold applications are built on web technologies and can be installed from anywhere. Freehold's simple REST API can be used from any language or platform, and a Go client library already exists for integrating with Go applications.

Technical Overview

Freehold is an entirely self-contained solution, with no external dependancies or requirements. The data layer is driven by a key-value store that is created and managed by Freehold automatically.
