Pydio

Pydio turns any web server into a file management system, offering an alternative to mainstream cloud storage providers. It is for web server operators who want their server to handle file management. In that role, Pydio can replace a mainstream cloud storage provider. Its main limitation is that it requires a web server to serve as the file management system. Pydio changes the role of the web server by making it the system used for managing files. This gives users of a web server another option besides mainstream cloud storage providers. The program is suited to cases where a web server is available and file management is the goal. Without a web server, Pydio cannot perform this conversion, because the server is the system it turns into a file manager.
