Pydio
A cloud file manager compatible with FTP, SQL, LDAP, WebDAV and SMB, with its own mobile apps.
What is Pydio?
Pydio (formerly AjaXplorer) is a file-sharing platform that turns any server into a cloud data manager. It lets you access, organize, preview and securely share files, with user and role management.
What is Pydio for?
- A file cloud that needs to connect to existing systems via FTP, LDAP or SMB.
- Accessing files from dedicated mobile apps for iOS and Android.
- Previewing PDFs and editing images online without downloading the file.
Main benefits of Pydio
Compatibility with multiple systems: FileSystem, FTP, SQL, LDAP, WebDAV and SMB.
Built-in WebDAV access, in addition to its own web interface.
Apps available for iOS and Android, plus a sync client for Windows and Mac.
Google Analytics integration to measure usage.
Who should use Pydio?
Organizations that already have existing file systems or directories (FTP, LDAP, SMB) and want a cloud access layer on top of them.
Is Pydio the right choice for you?
It's a great fit if…
- You need to connect the file cloud to existing systems via FTP, LDAP or SMB.
- You want dedicated mobile apps for iOS and Android.
- You're after PDF previews and image editing without downloading the file.
It might not be for you if…
- You're after the ecosystem with the most built-in collaborative apps (consider Nextcloud).
- You need a project with very recent updates — check activity before adopting it long-term.
