High performance file syncing and sharing, with also Markdown WYSIWYG editing, Wiki, file label and other knowledge management features.

Introduction

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.

Source repositories for Seafile components

Each component of Seafile has its own source code repository on Github.

• Sync client daemon (this repository): https://github.com/haiwen/seafile
• Sync client GUI: https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-client
• Server core: https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-server
• Server web UI: https://github.com/haiwen/seahub
• iOS app: https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-iOS
• Android app: https://github.com/haiwen/seadroid
• WebDAV: https://github.com/haiwen/seafdav

Before version 6.0, the source code of "sync client daemon" and "server core" was mixed together in https://github.com/haiwen/seafile. 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.
