TuxInDrive: sincronização multicloud open source com foco em Linux

Tomas Pluharik — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 13:45:36 +0000

Olá! Sou o desenvolvedor do TuxInDrive, um cliente gráfico de sincronização multicloud de código aberto, pensado primeiro para Linux.

A proposta é reunir em uma única interface recursos que normalmente exigem várias ferramentas ou configuração manual:

sincronização bidirecional e seletiva;
arquivos sob demanda;
histórico de versões e tratamento de conflitos;
busca e pré-visualização de arquivos sincronizados;
controle global de largura de banda;
suporte a diferentes serviços de nuvem.

O projeto continua em desenvolvimento ativo. Estou procurando pessoas interessadas em testar diferentes distribuições e provedores de nuvem, além de colaboradores para código, documentação e traduções.

Projeto, documentação e downloads: github.com/tpluharik/Tuxindrive

Feedback sobre confiabilidade, experiência de uso e empacotamento para Linux é especialmente bem-vindo.

Transparência: sou o desenvolvedor do projeto.

TuxInDrive 0.26.30: a visual comparison of Linux sync alternatives

Tomas Pluharik — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 12:22:41 +0000

I am the maintainer of TuxInDrive, an MIT-licensed, Linux-first multi-cloud synchronization client. I made this comparison to show where the project fits among provider clients, command-line tools, self-hosted platforms and peer-sync applications.

Why another sync client?

Linux users often have to combine several tools: one for cloud accounts, another for files-on-demand, scripts for safety checks, and a separate peer-sync application. TuxInDrive aims to put these workflows behind one interface while retaining explicit safety controls.

Version 0.26.30 includes:

Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, pCloud, MEGA, Proton Drive, Nextcloud, S3, WebDAV, SFTP and GitHub support
two-way, upload-only and download-only synchronization
files-on-demand with offline pinning
selective rules by path, extension, size and age
a pre-transfer change preview and mass-change protection
local version history, recovery and visual conflict resolution
one global bandwidth controller shared by sync, streaming, scans and updates
owner-approved LAN and encrypted peer collaboration
Linux, Windows, macOS and Android builds

How to read the matrix

The matrix is not a performance benchmark. A green mark means the capability is documented and generally available. Amber means it is limited to certain platforms, providers or command-line workflows. Red means I could not verify the capability in the regular product.

The sources are the official documentation for each project. If a rating is outdated or too strict, please open an issue with the relevant documentation link and I will correct it.

Try it or help improve it

The project is still looking for testers across different providers and operating systems. Bug reports, documentation corrections, security review and code contributions are welcome.

Why I built TuxInDrive: one open-source sync client for multiple clouds

Tomas Pluharik — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 14:38:35 +0000

Linux cloud synchronization is still surprisingly fragmented. One provider may have a native client, another needs a command-line tool, and a third requires a collection of scripts.

I started TuxInDrive to provide one interface for managing several cloud services while keeping Linux as a first-class platform.

What it supports

TuxInDrive currently works with Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, pCloud, MEGA, Proton Drive, Nextcloud and GitHub repositories.

Depending on the provider, it offers:

One-way and two-way synchronization
Files-on-demand
Conflict handling and version recovery
Safety previews before potentially destructive operations
Integrity verification
Global bandwidth and network controls
Encrypted peer sharing
An optional self-hosted coordination server

Linux is the primary platform. Builds are also available for Windows, macOS and Android.

Where I need help

The project is usable, but still young. I would especially appreciate:

Testing with different providers and distributions
Reproducible bug reports
Feedback on installation and documentation
Security and networking reviews
UI and accessibility feedback
Code contributions

Please begin with non-critical test data and maintain an independent backup while evaluating synchronization software.

Development transparency

AI coding assistants have been used during development. Architecture and release decisions are reviewed by the maintainer, and automated tests are run before releases. Contributions and independent review are welcome.
