Why Seafile?

Seafile is the fastest, most reliable, self-hosted sync & share solution. In a direct comparison, Seafile leaves competitive solutions far behind in terms of transfer rates and resource efficiency. An optimized data model in conjunction with a machine-friendly programming in C are key to Seafile’s superior performance. Seafile’s outstanding stability and flexibility as well as its low maintenance are the reasons why not only users, but also admins, love Seafile.

And this is not all! The Seafile Drive client sets Seafile apart from all other on-premises sync & share solutions. The Drive client allows direct, on-demand access to files and documents stored in Seafile. A complete synchronization of file repositories is not necessary making overburdened hard disks a thing of the past. All offline edits are saved locally and pushed to the server upon the next server connection. In other words, the Seafile Drive client combines the advantages of traditional network shares with the benefits of sync & share solutions. If you are looking for a modern alternative to managing your data, Seafile is the right choice!

Countless large and small organizations have already been convinced by Seafile’s strengths. Johannes-Gutenberg-University in Mainz, Germany, runs a Seafile-based file cloud for 13 universities within the state of Rhineland Palatinate counting more than 50.000 registered users. At Max Planck Society, Seafile is the basis for the organization’s long-term research archive.

There is more!

Building on Seafile’s collaborative functions, the file cloud can be expanded into a powerful platform for online collaboration. The integration with a document server (such as those of ONLYOFFICE and Collabora Online) adds online editing capabilities for office files. DOCX, XLSX and PPTX files can be opened and modified – alone or by multiple people from different locations – directly in Seafile’s web interface. Seafile manages file permissions as well as file versioning. On top of that, it offers additional team-features such as file tags, full-text search and guest-invitation.
