LocalDrive is your own personal Google Drive that lives on your computer. No subscriptions, no third-party servers, no limits. Everything you store stays on hardware you control. Whether you're saving family photos, sharing work documents with colleagues, or creating a backup of important files, LocalDrive gives you the power of the cloud without giving away your privacy.
Imagine having all the convenience of Google Drive—accessing files from any device, sharing links with friends, organizing photos—but knowing that every byte of data is stored securely on your own machine. That's LocalDrive.
Getting LocalDrive up and running is easier than you think. Even if you've never used self-hosted software before, you'll be up and running in less than half an hour. The entire system runs as a single program on your computer, and companion apps let you access your files from your phone, tablet, or web browser.

Once you're on the download page, you'll see a list of files. Choose the appropriate version for your computer and click to download it. Don't worry—the process is straightforward, and your browser will guide you through saving the file.
After downloading, you'll have a file on your computer. Double-click it to start LocalDrive. A window will open showing you that your private cloud is now live. You'll see a simple address in that window—something like http://localhost:8080—which you can type into any web browser to access your files.
That's it. You now have your very own cloud storage service running on your personal computer.
LocalDrive isn't just for your computer. It comes with apps for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux, plus a fully functional web interface. This means you can upload a photo from your phone while on a trip, then view it later on your laptop at home. Everything syncs automatically, just like the big commercial services.
- Phone Apps: Available for Android and iOS, allowing you to upload, download, and share files while on the go
- Desktop Apps: Native applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux with tight OS integration
- Web Browser: Access your files from any device with internet access by simply navigating to your LocalDrive address
Upload and organize files in any folder structure you like. Create folders, rename items, move files between directories, and search for specific documents. The interface is clean and intuitive, designed for everyday users who don't want to learn complicated commands.
Made a mistake? No problem. LocalDrive keeps track of previous versions of your files. If you accidentally overwrite an important document, you can roll back to an earlier version with just a few clicks. It's like having a time machine for your files.
Deleted something by accident? All removed files go to a trash folder where they stay for a configurable period. You can restore them at any time before they're permanently erased. It gives you peace of mind when cleaning up old files.
Want to share a large video with a friend or send a document to a colleague? Right-click any file or folder and create a shareable link. You control whether the link is public or password-protected, and you can set expiration dates to keep things secure.
LocalDrive includes a beautiful photo gallery view that automatically organizes your images by date and location. Browse through memories chronologically, create albums, and share entire collections with family. It's perfect for preserving those special moments.
LocalDrive is designed for a global audience. The interface is available in both English and Arabic, making it accessible to millions more users. Switching between languages is as simple as changing a setting in the app.
Every file you store on LocalDrive lives on your own hardware. No one else has access to it—not us, not any corporation, not any government. This is the ultimate level of privacy you can get from cloud storage.
Unlike commercial services that require you to create an account and hand over your email address, LocalDrive works entirely on your machine. There's no sign-up process, no verification emails, no tracking.
LocalDrive uses modern, secure coding practices and is built on trusted open-source technology. The community constantly reviews and improves the codebase, ensuring your data stays protected.
While you don't need to be a programmer to use LocalDrive, here's what makes it tick:
- Server: A single Go binary that runs on any major operating system
- Apps: Built with Flutter for a consistent, smooth experience on all platforms
- Database: SQLite for reliable, file-based data storage
- Docker: Easy deployment for NAS devices and home servers
This stack means LocalDrive is incredibly fast, consumes minimal resources, and works on virtually any hardware—including an old laptop you might have sitting in a drawer.
LocalDrive is perfect for:
- Privacy-conscious individuals who don't want corporations reading their files
- Families who want to share photos and documents without paying monthly fees
- Small businesses needing secure internal file sharing
- Homelab enthusiasts who enjoy running their own services
- Anyone tired of hitting storage limits on free cloud plans
Want to see if LocalDrive is right for you? The software is completely free and open source. You can download it, use it for a few days to test the features, and decide if it fits your needs. There's no credit card required, no limited trial period, and no feature paywalls.
