Not many features. The ones here work.
ownstorage is a drive, not a workspace suite. There is no comment thread, no activity feed and no AI summary of your PDFs. What there is has been sharpened rather than multiplied.
Folders that nest
As deep as you want, with breadcrumbs that walk the real tree rather than guessing from the URL. Moving between folders is a normal navigation, so browser back works the way you expect.
Folders that lock
Put a four-digit PIN on any folder and it disappears from your drive until you type it in - out of the file list, out of search, out of everything. The PIN is checked on our side, so there is no way to peek around it. Forget it and the folder stays shut. That is deliberate.
Previews without downloading
Images, video, audio and PDFs stream straight through from Telegram into the viewer. Anything the browser cannot render inline says so plainly and offers the download instead of showing a broken frame.
Search that keeps up
Results appear as you type, across every file and folder name you have. Searching looks through your whole drive on purpose, not just the folder you happen to be standing in.
Stars and last-seven-days
Two filters, because that covers almost everything people actually need. No tagging taxonomy to maintain and no smart folders to configure.
Images shrink before they leave
Large photos are shrunk on your own device before they upload, so they go faster and take less space. If shrinking would somehow make a photo bigger, we keep the original instead.
Upload progress that is real
The bar follows the real upload, not a fake timer. You can see when a file is being shrunk, when it is going up, and when it has landed. If something fails, it tells you what actually went wrong.
Yours alone, twice over
Your files are tied to your account and nobody else's, and we check it twice - once in the database and again every time anything is opened. One check would probably do. Two is cheap.
The numbers
On one sheet
No asterisks. The only real ceiling is 20 MB per file, and it comes from Telegram rather than from us.
Why that ceiling exists| Max file size | 20 MB |
|---|---|
| Max number of files | no limit from us |
| Total storage | whatever your channel holds |
| Folder depth | unlimited |
| Folder PIN | 4 digits, stored scrambled |
| Your bot password | scrambled, never shown to anyone |
| Previewable inline | images, video, audio, PDF |
| Monthly cost | $0.00 |
