What is Telegram Drive?

Telegram Drive is a free, open-source desktop application built using Tauri, Rust, and React. It turns Telegram's servers into your own personal cloud storage – like Google Drive, but with no storage limit, no file size limit, and zero monthly fees. You can upload files, stream videos, create folders, and access everything from your own computer. Feature

• Keep your terminal open while using the app. Closing it will stop Telegram Drive.
• Do not store highly sensitive or private files – data is stored on Telegram servers.
• If you face errors during npm install, make sure Node.js version is 18 or higher.
• Use the VPN version if you experience connection timeouts or slow uploads.
