Seafile is an open source cloud storage system with privacy protection and teamwork features. Collections of files are called libraries. Each library can be synced separately. A library can also be encrypted with a user chosen password. Seafile also allows users to create groups and easily sharing files into groups. Beyond sync and share, Seafile provides advanced metadata management features and handy collaboration features. 1. Selective sync for any folder. 2. Correctly handles file conflicts based on history instead of timestamp. 3. Only transfer content delta to the server. Interrupted transfers can be resumed. 4. Sync with two or more servers. 5. Sync with existing folders. 1. Sharing folders between users or into groups. 3. Download links with password protection 4. Upload links 5. Version control Access all files in the cloud via virtual drive. Files are synced on demand. 1. Library encryption with a user chosen password. 2. Client side encryption when using the desktop syncing. Each component of Seafile has its own source code repository on Github. Before version 6.0, the source code of "sync client daemon" and "server core" was mixed together in But after 6.0 version, the server core is separated into its own repository. For this reason, the sync client daemon repository is still the "front page" for Seafile project on Github.

Seafile is an open-source, cross-platform file-hosting software system. Files are stored on a central server and can be synchronized with personal computers and mobile devices through apps. Files on the Seafile server can also be accessed directly via the server's web interface. Seafile's functionality is similar to other popular file hosting services such as Dropbox and Google Drive. The primary difference between Seafile and Dropbox/Google Drive is that Seafile is a self-hosted file sharing solution for private cloud applications. In private clouds, storage space and client connection limits are determined exclusively by the users' own infrastructure and settings rather than the terms and conditions of a cloud service provider. Additionally, organizations whose data privacy policies bar them from using public cloud services can draw on Seafile to build a file sharing system of their own.
