Interface preview · product in development · details may change

Unlimited users

No seat cap. No per-seat fees.

No software disk limit

Capacity is set by your hardware.

Works on your LAN

Core keeps running if internet drops.

Product

A complete DMS on hardware you already own.

Organize, control and trace every document — without handing them to someone else's cloud.

Folders & files

Familiar folder structures, drag-and-drop uploads, previews and metadata for every department.

Granular permissions

Per-folder and per-document access for users and groups. Read, edit, approve — decided by you.

File versions

Every save becomes a version. Compare, restore and keep the full history alongside the file.

Audit trail

Who opened, changed, shared or deleted what, and when. Kept on your own server.

Approvals & workflows

Route contracts, invoices and policies through reviewers before they're published.

Keyword search

Find documents by name, tags and metadata across everything your team can access.

Open API

Connect your own scripts and third-party tools. Integrations you build are yours to maintain.

Unlimited users

Add every employee. LibreDrive never charges per seat and imposes no software user cap.

Architecture

One host on your network. Every employee in a browser.

Install LibreDrive on an always-on PC, mini-server or supported NAS-connected host. Staff open the local address — no client installs, no per-seat licences, no dependency on our servers.

Editions

Run it yourself. Or let us look after it.

Same software at the core. Managed adds services — never a lock on your files.

How it works

From spare machine to company drive.

  1. 01

    Prepare a host

    An always-on PC, mini-server or supported NAS-connected host on your office network.

    $ check-requirements

  2. 02

    Install LibreDrive

    Follow the self-install guide: server, storage locations and the first admin account.

    $ libredrive install

  3. 03

    Invite your team

    Create users and groups, set permissions and share the local address.

    → https://files.office.lan

Installation is do-it-yourself. The installer and documentation will be published with the first public Community release. Hardware, network configuration and backups are your responsibility in Community.

Managed services

Protection for your documents. And your operations.

Managed wraps your local installation in the services most organizations can't run alone. Cancel, and your server and files keep working.

  • Encrypted backup & recovery

    Off-site copies and assisted restore.

  • Health monitoring

    Disk, service and backup checks.

  • Certified updates

    Tested, applied to unmodified installs.

  • Online support

    Professional help, no per-user charges.
