Background: I am looking to replace my FileBrowser docker service with something newer and this looks very nice. My needs are simple right now – just local folders and files, I need to access from anywhere. But I’m also liking Drivebase supporting multiple cloud providers, as I have files in more than one place. They offer paid managed services, or a free self-hosted version for folks like us.
Looking for just the basic Google Drive features here for a few people, not a pastebin or a temporary file sharing service. Don’t need any AI features.
But I am surprised Drivebase has never been discussed here before, and I notice they have an agents.md file in the repo too.
Thanks for any ideas on this. Let me know what you prefer for this sort of thing, if you like.
EDIT TO ADD: thanks all for the info. I’ll not use this Drive base. Think I’ll check out other options next.
Your said you were going to use the cloud services, so even if you self-host, using a cloud service api carries the same risk as using their apps. This is an app to unify all the remote storage things.
However, after looking at the code, I retract my comment and caution you not to use Drivebase:
[crypto] # Generate: openssl rand -base64 32 masterKeyBase64 = "<base64-encoded-32-byte-key>"If this is a salt or a seed, the documentation is wrong. But it looks like they’re using this base64 value as the actual key for whatever encryption Claude has vibe-coded into it.
base64 values can be reversed very trivially.
Don’t use this.
