Seafile is a file hosting software system. Files are stored on a central server and can be synchronized with personal computers and mobile devices via the Seafile client. Files can also be accessed via the server's web interface. Seafile's functionality is similar to other popular services such as Dropbox and Google Drive, with the primary difference being that Seafile is free and open-source, enabling users to host their own Seafile servers without artificially imposed limits on storage space or client connections.

Editions

The self-hosted Seafile server is offered in two versions, a "community edition" and a "professional edition". The community edition is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 whereas the professional edition is released under a proprietary license. The two versions differ in that certain features such as user logging and text search are limited to the professional edition.^[2]

Technology

The Seafile desktop client is available for personal computers running Windows, OS X, or Linux. The mobile client is available for iOS, Windows Phone 8 and Android. Files can also be viewed or downloaded without the client, via the Seafile web interface.
