Free forever at home

Your memories don't belong
on someone else's server.

Build your own secure private cloud. Ready in about 10 minutes.

Turn a Raspberry Pi and any USB drive into personal cloud storage and a media server. No networking knowledge required.

Made for home users: families and friends sharing photos, music lovers with their own media collection, and photographers. Private cloud storage has never been this simple.

Why not just use iCloud or Google Drive?

Your memories belong to you, not to a subscription plan that gets more expensive as your collection grows.

A streaming service for your own collection

Clean, fast interfaces designed for phones, tablets, laptops, and TVs. It works like a streaming service, except everything is yours.

Play your music through Bluetooth speakers, phones, tablets, and car audio systems including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Access your files

Your drive, everywhere in the house

Your USB drive appears as a password-protected network folder on every computer in the house. Or open the web dashboard from any browser to browse, upload, and download.

Uploads and downloads are protected by two-factor authentication.

Keep everything protected

A drive can fail. Your memories won't.

Plug in a second USB drive and myUSBdrive mirrors your files automatically, at no extra cost. If one drive ever fails, your photos, music, and films are safe on the other.

Recover accidentally deleted files from the built-in Recycle Bin. Access is password protected from the start.

Anywhere you go

Take it with you

Add secure remote access and your files are available anywhere: at work, on holiday, in the car. You get your own personal web address (yourname.myusb.cloud) with encryption provided by Cloudflare, trusted by millions of businesses worldwide.

Your myUSBdrive connects outward to the internet securely, so you never need to expose your home network. No port forwarding. No complicated setup.
