What is it?

Twake Drive is a web-based file manager from Linagora. It provides a file tree for browsing folders, uploads of files and folders, sharing of files and folders through URLs, and search across stored files. The project is distributed under the AGPL-3.0 license and is positioned as an open-source alternative to Google Drive.

The app is built with JavaScript and runs on top of cozy-stack, the backend of the Cozy platform. Developers set it up by cloning the repository, installing dependencies with Yarn, and serving the built static files through cozy-stack, either with a watch mode that supports hot module replacement or with a one-time build. Tests use Jest, and end-to-end tests use Playwright.

Sharing between separate Twake instances is supported: a user can share a folder with a recipient on another instance, who accepts it through an emailed link. Development of this flow requires a local mail server such as MailHog.
