Relevant to teams maintaining shared agent artifacts and context while retaining ordinary files and history.
Before you choose
No beta end date or future team price is set; founder pricing is promised without an amount. Storage is not explicitly metered, but unusual usage triggers consultation, not a guarantee of infinite capacity. Self-hosting uses a Go binary and S3/GCS/R2/MinIO or disk. Current files remain local if syncing stops; full historical portability requires an export. Concurrent edits keep both versions according to vendor; conflict recovery and permanent history were not tested. Public URLs expose selected files to anyone with the link. No folder was synced, restored or shared.
Workflow and handoff
Sync only a disposable folder, verify conflict and restore behavior and inspect link visibility before sharing real project context.
