CloudPaste is a secure file sharing platform and multi-backend storage aggregator. It unifies local and S3-compatible cloud storage providers into a single managed file system, serving as a gateway for centralized file access and distribution.
The platform distinguishes itself through a built-in browser-based Markdown editor for composing documents with formulas and diagrams. It provides secure content sharing using password protection, expiration dates, and path-restricted API keys to control programmatic access and visibility.
The system covers broad capabilities in file management, including multi-format previews and chunked resumable uploads. It also implements the WebDAV protocol, allowing users to manage remote files via a web interface or mount storage as a network drive.
User identity and access permissions are managed through a dedicated account system to control system entry and privileges.
