Details
Locker is an open-source project that aims to provide an alternative to popular cloud storage services like Dropbox and Google Drive. The key feature of Locker is that it allows users to bring their own S3 bucket (or other storage providers like Vercel blob) instead of paying for a subscription. Locker provides a virtual file system that abstracts the underlying storage provider, making it easy for users to manage their files. Additionally, Locker includes a QMD search plugin to help users quickly find their files. The project was inspired by a 'nerd-snipe' from SWYX, a prominent figure in the tech community.
