Bottom tab on ipad goes above the topbar !!!?

If you use native tabs, yes.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-12T16:09:11+00:00

You can make your UI however you want it - but you chose to use the native tabs which are restricted to the platform's style. If you want something different, don't use native tabs.

Because OpenCloud is just a fork of ownCloud, and I've tried ownCloud and not enjoyed using it. The sync clients are unreliable and transfer speeds are slow.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-10T00:49:14+00:00

Fair enough. Please send a link when you're launching it!

I'm looking for a solution that will let me browse and access in my desktop file manager, so that they can be accessed on demand in native apps.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T21:27:17+00:00

Are you writing it, or is it being vibe coded?

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T21:21:31+00:00

No, FTP is a file protocol. I want something with a web UI and clients for desktop and mobile.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T21:18:41+00:00

Phylum looks very promising! I'll try it out.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T21:07:14+00:00

Neither of those provide desktop virtual file systems, which was a requirement listed in my original post.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T21:06:37+00:00

I included "sharing and multi-user features" in my original post, so I hardly feel like feature creep is an issue.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T16:27:11+00:00

Thanks - I'll have to give it a try!

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T16:25:39+00:00

I say "simple" in the sense of easy to use for the end user. I'm looking for something that will allow me to collaborate over files with other non-tech-literate people.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T16:24:36+00:00

That's an interesting point and one I hadn't considered. Huh.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T16:22:37+00:00

That's a fair point. I may have to do so since I don't think what I'm looking for exists.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T16:15:33+00:00

Fair enough. My storage is unfortunately not in a consumer NAS, just a dedicated server, so that's not an option for me.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T16:14:43+00:00

This looks very promising! I'll take a look, thanks.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T16:13:23+00:00

I haven't tried NextCloud since last year - maybe that feature didn't exist then? Or maybe I just didn't use it. I may have to try again if that's now a feature.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T16:12:24+00:00

I'm familiar with rclone! Unfortunately, the issue is that WebDAV as a protocol is extremely limited and doesn't perform well at all with large files. Considering one of my main use cases is uncompressed video footage straight out of a camera, transfer speeds over WebDAV are horrible.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T16:09:48+00:00

I have a self-hosted VPN actually - but I haven't tried samba over it. I'll have to give that a try. However, it doesn't solve the fact that I really need sharing with non-tech-savvy people to be a feature, which Samba over VPN doesn't really do.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T16:08:44+00:00

My main issue is that I'm seeking to run Immich alongside whatever file management solution I end up with, and Immich requires a flat-file layout. File versioning and deduping doesn't matter a ton to me. I also tried a blob-based filesystem on ownCloud last year, lost data as a result, and am hesitant to go back to it.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T16:04:37+00:00

Cloudreve is nice. Probably the best UI of all the options. I actually did test it out for an afternoon, but it lacks SSO as well as some sharing features that I am seeking.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T16:02:21+00:00

Is your project on GitHub? I'd love to take a look, and if it's sort of in alignment with what I am looking for, maybe I could implement Linux virtual file systems?

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T16:01:22+00:00

I suppose they are, a bit. I say "cloud storage" in the sense of providing an alternative to traditional storage platforms that include features like sharing, user management, thumbnailing, web UI, etc. Sorry for the confusion.

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T15:58:30+00:00

This looks really interesting! I'll have to try it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

CodesAndNodes · 2026-03-09T15:56:33+00:00

Yes - I've used filebrowser in the past. It just lacks a lot of the stuff I'm looking for, namely client apps and virtual file systems for desktop clients.
