Self-hosted alternatives to OneDrive

ZPan

Web drive and image host for your own S3-compatible bucket, with share links, WebDAV and team spaces

Who it suits

Individuals and small teams who used OneDrive mainly to store and share files from a browser and want the files in their own S3-compatible bucket.

What a OneDrive user would miss

Desktop folder sync, folder backup, phone photo upload, a Personal Vault and version history, and the files live in a separate S3-compatible bucket.

What it adds

Browsers upload straight to the bucket through presigned URLs, the drive works as an image host for tools such as PicGo and ShareX, mounts over WebDAV and has team spaces with quotas.

• Partly Files and photos stored online and opened from a browser, phone or tablet. Web drive with folders, previews and search on your own S3-compatible bucket, with a responsive layout; no native phone or tablet apps.
• No Desktop sync of local folders with Files On-Demand. Dedicated sync clients are listed as planned; WebDAV mounts the drive but does not sync a folder.
• No Backup of the Documents, Pictures and Desktop folders. No folder backup client found.
• No Automatic photo upload from phones. No camera upload found; image tools such as PicGo and ShareX can upload through the image host.
• Yes Sharing files and folders by link or with chosen people. Share links with password, expiry and download limit, directed shares to registered users, and team spaces with editor and viewer roles.
• Partly Recovery of deleted files and ransomware recovery. Trash with restore and purge; no version history or ransomware recovery found.
