I Created My Own Cloud Storage: YunusSayginli Cloud

Greetings! Today I want to share a project I've been working on for a long time and that excites me a lot: YunusSayginli Cloud.

As you know, our data storage needs are increasing every day. Between photos, videos, and documents, we have to pay monthly fees to services like Google Drive, iCloud, or Mega. Moreover, our data is stored on other people's servers. I thought, "Why not turn the free space on my own computer into a cloud that I can access from anywhere in the world?" and I started coding.

What is This System? How Does It Work?

This system, which operates via the address https://cloud.yunussayginli.com, actually reflects a specific folder on my local computer (or server) to the web interface.

The difference from other solutions on the market is that they usually require complex network protocols like SSH or SMB, port forwarding, or FTP clients for file sharing. My system, however, has none of these features.

The user (that is, me for now) simply enters the website and a familiar file manager appears.

Key Features of the Project

The advantages offered by this system I developed are:

• Web-Based Interface: I can access my files through the browser without downloading any application.
• Zero Configuration: I can upload and download files directly without dealing with SSH keys or complex IP settings.
• Complete Control: My data is stored on disks directly under my control, not in a data center I don't know.
• Speed ​​and Security: Since there is no third-party service provider in between, the limits (upload/download limits) depend entirely on my internet speed.

When Will It Be Available?

Currently, the project is in the development phase and I am conducting closed-loop tests. I am optimizing the system's stability, security, and speed.

But my goals are ambitious! With the upcoming updates, I plan to transform it into a true cloud storage service:

• User Registration System: Anyone can create their own personalized account,
• Personalized Spaces: Each user will have their own isolated storage space,
• File Sharing: You can share a file you've uploaded with your friends with a single click.

Stay tuned to my blog for updates. See you freely in our own cloud!
