FreeCloud

Stop paying twice for storage!!!

If you already have disk space on your web host FreeCloud lets you use it as a "cloud drive" with local sync.

If you pay for:

• web hosting
• cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc)
• maybe email storage

then you are getting double or even triple charged for the same thing.

How to Set Up

1. Upload the server files

Upload everything inside the server/ folder to your web host.

Create a folder like this:

public_html/FreeCloud/

So on your host:

• go to public_html
• create a folder called FreeCloud
• upload all the server files into it

Then go to:

https://yourdomain.com/FreeCloud

---

2. Run the local sync program

Run:

Mac / Linux:

./Run_Mac_Linux.sh

Windows:

Run_Windows.bat

Fill in:

• your domain (example: https://yourdomain.com)
• your drive folder (FreeCloud)
• your local folder
• your password

---

3. Start using it

That’s it.

• add/remove files in your local folder → they sync to the web
• add/remove files on the web → they sync to your computer

Access your files anywhere:

https://yourdomain.com/FreeCloud

---

Local Folder

This is just a normal folder on your computer.

Example:

/Users/you/FreeCloud

If it doesn’t exist, it will be created.

This is your main working folder:

• anything here uploads to your server
• anything on the server downloads here

---

What This Is

FreeCloud is a very simple self hosted cloud drive.

No database
No install process
No accounts

You upload it and it works.

---

What You Get

• your own cloud drive
• your own storage
• your own files
• running on your own hosting

No subscriptions.

---

Security

• optional password
• real server side auth
• files locked to storage folder
• no direct public access to stored files

Simple, but not wide open.

---

Why This Exists

Because paying for hosting and then paying again for storage makes no sense.

You already have the space.

Use it.
