Show HN: MiDrive – Self-hosted Dropbox-like interface for your S3 bucket

3 points·johneke··3 comments

Hello HN! I and a buddy created MiDrive (https://www.midrive.io) and we’re sharing it here, hoping other folks find it as useful as we do. MiDrive deploys a lightweight stack into your AWS account which then gives you a fancy interface to browse your S3 bucket. Use the discount code BETALAUNCH for a free download, and please share whatever comments you have :) Thank you HN!

USD 59 one time fee.

> Free future updates up until the next major revision. For example, say you purchase version 1.0.2, then all 1.x.x versions are free up until 2.x is released. Fret not though, major version updates are few and far between

Not cheap and if you update the major verson once a year it can become rather expensive.

Dropbox-like interface, but not that functionality ? The main selling point of Dropbox is the auto syncing of files ?

Point noted :) we will continue to monitor the feedback on this.

We are still in BETA, so we are definitely still very light on features. Lots more are coming, but we figured we'd take an iterative approach.

Then I guess you have a roadmap for the 1.x and 2.x releases ? Better make that public ;-)
