Polydrive is an experimental open source alternative to Dropbox. It allows users to synchronize their files on multiple devices.

The project is experimental and should not be used in any production systems.

Polydrive is written in Scala for the file manager, and Rust for the client. It makes use of an external database, MongoDB to store data about the files, and those files are uploaded to an object storage system, MinIO.

Run the docker-compose.yml at the root of the project in order to run development services :

$ docker-compose up -d

Mongo URL : mongodb://localhost:27017,localhost:27018/?replicaSet=polydrive-rs

Minio access key : polydrive

Minio secret key : polydrive

Minio console : http://localhost:9001

Minio API : http://localhost:9000

Add the following entry to your /etc/hosts file :

127.0.0.1 mongo-rs-1 mongo-rs-2 mongo-rs-3

In a terminal, run the server :

$ cd server && sbt
$ sbt:polydrive> ~run

In another terminal, run a client as a daemon:

$ cd client
$ cargo run -- --daemon --verbose --watch /tmp
