Securely save, manage, and share your photos, files, and documents - leveraging the power of decentralized data storage.

Hey hunters, After many months in the making, we are stoked to be releasing ArDrive to the broader public - making it easier than ever for users to exit the cloud and reclaim ownership of their wallets, privacy, and digital data. We often say that ArDrive is kind of like Web3 Dropbox, on steroids. It delivers the familiar use case of a normal file-storage app, but comes supercharged with military-grade encryption and an open-sourced code base. Instead of cloud storage solutions where subscriptions gate access to your own content - ArDrive users can store photographs, image files (including NFTs), PDFs, text documents, audio and video files, and even site manifests and code snippets, by paying once and storing them indefinitely. If you're wondering how this is even possible - you can think of Arweave as a public blockchain that permanently stores the files, and ArDrive as a portal to that blockchain - letting users easily interface and interact with content. Those interactions look and feel just like using a normal file storage app, but carry the added benefits of enhanced privacy and permanent access beyond the life of the organization. This is made possible by permanent data, the 0-1 invention that people are only just beginning to discover. We are excited to be establishing a presence on Product Hunt, where we will be sharing new releases and big features across subsequent launches - stay tuned!

I uploaded my avatar https://pierreneter.arweave.dev/ so smooth and fast, I've seen a lot of NFTs projects on Sei using ArDrive, the speed of the images is great, and of course. 100% onchain.
Your product's inventive solution is commendable! The concept is intriguing. I'm curious, what exciting milestones or features are you planning for the next phase of development? Keep up the great work!
Awesome app. I have been using it for many years at this point. True decentralization, yet still allows you to pay with a credit card!
ArDrive is so impressive, not just as an application, but from it's developer tooling, as well.
ArDrive has been great for me. I stored things like my old notes from University, family photos, audio lectures, business info etc. It is a good feeling to have all of those important things safely stored! Congrats on the launch!
Proud to share this Web 3 gem with my friends! Uploads are smooth and painless, permanent storage made easy
ARDrive can't help but succeed. it is well built, easy to use, solves a myriad of storage issues, and is inexpensive for what you receive. What else could you ask for in a permanent storage solution? Kudos to the developers!!
This product is brilliant for interacting with Blockchain and Web3. I was looking for a relatively simple solution to put a PWA on the Blockchain, and Arweave seemed like the way to go. ArDrive provided a simple, easy-to-navigate method to navigate the system. I love how files uploaded to Arweave don't require monthly subscriptions or "pinning" to keep alive. Well done! This is such a fantastic solution for hosting files, websites, PWA's, and more.
This is a great project. You mean I can store my videos forever with a one time fee? And there's a 90% discount right now? Dang!! Here we go!!
Next gen cloud storage. Simple webapp for ios. Works like a charm. Free for small files
