Who Twake Drive is for#
Twake workplace file management
Use Twake Drive when a team wants file browsing, uploads, sharing, and search inside a Twake-oriented collaboration environment.
Cozy app development and deployment
Use it when building or operating a Cozy-backed Drive app and you need the official web app source, manifest, and development workflow.
The problem it solves#
Teams that want open source file management often need a familiar Drive interface, not only raw storage. Twake Drive covers that app layer for organizations already using or evaluating Twake and Cozy infrastructure.
How it solves it#
File tree navigation
Users can browse folders and files through a Drive-style web interface instead of working directly against backend storage primitives.
Uploads and sharing
The app supports file and folder upload flows plus URL-based sharing, which are the daily collaboration actions expected from a Drive surface.
Search in Twake workflows
Search and platform integration help teams find documents inside the Cozy/Twake environment rather than treating files as a separate silo.

- Clear open source licenseGitHub reports AGPL-3.0 and the repository includes a root LICENSE file, giving reviewers first-party license evidence for the listing.
Trade-offs
- -Environment-specific scopeTwake Drive is not a drop-in replacement for every storage stack. It is strongest when Cozy or Twake platform services are part of the deployment plan.
