Seafile

Seafile provides a central location on your home server to store and organize every important file you own. It ensures that the folders on your laptop, phone, and tablet stay identical at all times. When you edit a document on one device, the changes appear instantly on all your other devices, making it easy to pick up exactly where you left off.

In a home environment, it serves as a robust library for family photos, videos, and records. It organizes files into "libraries" which can be kept private or shared with specific family members. This makes it a great solution for backing up mobile phone pictures automatically or creating a shared folder for household bills and school projects.

Because it focuses on speed, even very large files move quickly over your home network. You maintain total ownership of your data, avoiding monthly subscription fees and keeping your personal information away from third-party companies. It turns your home server into a dependable vault that keeps your digital life organized and accessible from anywhere in the world.
