## What is RemoteDisk?

RemoteDisk turns any S3-compatible bucket or SFTP server into a native drive inside the iOS Files app. Browse, open, edit, and share your remote files from any app that supports Files — no separate viewer, no copy-paste workflow.

  Built natively for iOS 17+ with SwiftUI and Apple's File Provider framework, RemoteDisk feels like iCloud Drive for your own storage.

  — SUPPORTED BACKENDS —
  • Amazon S3
  • Cloudflare R2
  • Backblaze B2
  • DigitalOcean Spaces
  • MinIO (self-hosted)
  • Wasabi, Storj, and any S3-compatible endpoint
  • SFTP servers (password authentication)

  — FILES APP INTEGRATION —
  Every connection appears as a drive in the Files app. Tap a file to stream it, long-press to pin it offline, or drag it between connections. Works with Preview, Markup, Quick Look, and every third-party app that reads from Files.

  — SMART SYNC —
  • On-demand streaming — files download only when opened
  • Pin files and folders for guaranteed offline access
  • Conflict detection with configurable strategies: server wins, local wins, keep both, or manual resolution
  • LRU cache eviction keeps your device from filling up
  • Background refresh keeps metadata current

  — CELLULAR-AWARE —
  Set per-connection policies for cellular data: block sync on cellular, cap file sizes, or allow everything. Never worry about a 2 GB upload draining your plan.

  — SHARE SHEET UPLOADS —
  Send files to a RemoteDisk connection from any app via the iOS share sheet. Upload photos, PDFs, documents, or anything else directly to the destination folder you choose.

  — SECURITY FIRST —
  • Credentials stored in the iOS Keychain, never in plain text
  • Shared keychain access group so extensions authenticate without re-entering secrets
  • No telemetry, no analytics, no third-party servers — your data goes only between your device and your storage

  — POWER USER FEATURES —
  • Custom endpoint URLs for self-hosted deployments
  • Multiple connections to the same provider with different credentials

  — LOCALIZATION —
  Full English and Simplified Chinese support with in-app language switching.

  — WHO IT'S FOR —
  • Developers who keep assets in R2 or S3 and want to edit them on iPad
  • Photographers backing up to B2 or Wasabi who need to preview shots on the go
  • Homelab users with MinIO or a self-hosted server exposed via SFTP
  • Anyone who wants their own storage to feel as native as iCloud
