Twake Drive – alternative to Google Drive

Twake Drive is a web-based file storage and management application. It provides a central place for individuals and teams to organise documents, access shared information and collaborate through a browser.

The application is part of the wider Twake ecosystem and uses the Cozy stack for its underlying services. Its interface is intended to provide a familiar alternative to commercial cloud drives while giving organisations greater control over where their documents are hosted.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Hierarchical file and folder management with navigation tools for browsing large document collections.
  • Upload files and directories directly through the browser, including drag-and-drop operations.
  • Access documents from desktop computers and mobile devices, with support for synchronisation through compatible clients.
  • Share individual files and folders using links or invitations sent to other users.
  • Federated sharing allows users on compatible Twake and Cozy instances to access shared files and folders.
  • Shared drives provide common document spaces for teams working on collaborative projects.
  • File version history allows earlier revisions of documents to be inspected and recovered.
  • Search facilities help locate stored documents without manually navigating folder hierarchies.
  • Integrated document handling supports previews and interaction with compatible office editing services.
  • File picker includes access to recent documents and shared content.
  • Granular sharing controls help administrators and users manage access to stored information.
  • Integration with the Cozy stack provides access to underlying authentication, storage and application services.
