MyWebDrive Guide

Source-backed instructions for identity, files, uploads, sharing, publications and Core-first operations.

What these guides cover

MyWebDrive stores and distributes files. Core owns identity, file metadata, upload intents, quota, shares and publications. Storage transfers objects and processes background jobs. The Next.js interface reaches the public API through same-origin Nginx. The former separate Auth, User, Metadata, Sharing and Gateway control plane is soft-retired; its startup and migration instructions do not describe the active stack.

These guides were checked against public main, the public OpenAPI contract, components and tests on 2026-09-07. The source project uses the MIT license. Historical sensitive-material remediation remains unresolved, so this site publishes reviewed usage instructions while withholding source acquisition and repository Issue links. This is not a security clearance for the repository. Developers with a maintainer-reviewed copy can use Local development.

Choose your workflow

| Goal | Read | | --- | --- | | Sign in and upload your first file | Quick start, Sign-in and sessions | | Inspect files, versions and downloads | Files and versions | | Understand progress, retries and space | Uploads, Quota | | Distribute to recipients or the public | Sharing, Publications | | Administer users, metrics and notifications | Users, Dashboard, Notifications | | Integrate or operate an instance | API, Local development, Deployment | | Recover from a failed operation | Troubleshooting |

Instance routes and actual capabilities

These paths belong to your MyWebDrive instance, not this documentation site: /signin for authentication, /account for personal files, /download for the public catalogue, /admin/overview for the dashboard, /admin/users for users, /admin/publish for publications, and /admin/notifications for notifications.

An implemented API does not necessarily have a button. The account page offers upload, listing, version inspection and download. It does not provide general rename, move, delete, recycle-bin restore or folder creation. Share management and replacement uploads require API integration. A version list does not imply a restore action. Old screenshots or folder fields do not establish that an operation is available.

Verification boundary

Feature descriptions are based on the pinned source. Documentation, search and AI tests are recorded separately from runtime acceptance of a MyWebDrive instance. A reachable homepage does not prove real email delivery, upload finalization or download integrity. Follow Quick start with a small, non-sensitive file to verify an actual round trip.
