Seafile is a lean open-source platform for file sync and sharing. The focus isn't on packing in as many extra features as possible, but on fast, reliable sync of large folders and lots of small files.
With OpenHosting, your Seafile instance runs in Swiss data centres in the Zurich region. We handle installation, updates, monitoring and backups so your team can share and sync files without running its own cloud server.
This is a particularly good fit for law firms, trustees, medical practices, agencies, engineering offices and associations looking for a fast Dropbox alternative with Swiss data residency.

Seafile vs. Dropbox, Google Drive and Nextcloud
Not all cloud storage is the same. Seafile pays off especially when file sync matters more than a complete office ecosystem:
Dropbox
Convenient, but a US provider with little control over data residency, operations and metadata. Seafile offers file sync under your own authority.
Google Drive / OneDrive
Tightly bound to Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. Seafile stays lean and independent from the big SaaS ecosystem.
Nextcloud
Ideal as a complete collaboration suite. For pure, high-performance file sync, Seafile is often the more focused solution.

Managed Seafile hosting starts at CHF 19 per month. This includes operations, updates, monitoring, daily backups and email support.
