Why people use it
Direct access without another storage workflow.
Most people do not need a new cloud drive. They need a simple way to get something from the computer they already use.
One-folder control
Choose exactly which folder is available instead of exposing your whole machine.
Lighter than remote desktop
Open the file you need without remoting into an entire computer just to browse around.
Who it is for
Best for people with a primary computer somewhere else.
Best fit
- Solo professionals working across a home machine and a travel laptop
- Freelancers handling client files they do not want fully mirrored into generic cloud storage
- Small business owners who keep important files on one office computer
- Privacy-conscious users who want occasional remote access without a full self-hosted setup
Not trying to be
- A shared team collaboration drive
- A backup or archive service
- A full remote desktop replacement
- A product that asks you to reorganize how you already store files
