Syncly is a Google Drive-inspired cloud storage platform I built from scratch as a personal project to showcase my full-stack development skills.
It replicates key file management functionalities using modern technologies across the full stack.
• Next.js + TypeScript – for robust frontend and server-side rendering
• Tailwind CSS – for a clean, responsive user interface
• Appwrite – handles authentication and storage backend
• Upload, preview, rename, delete, and download files
• Secure file sharing with customizable permission controls
• Smart file categorization (Documents, Media, Images, Others)
• Real-time storage usage indicator
• Smooth, responsive user experience
Syncly is a learning-focused, non-commercial project. It’s not optimized for public or production use due to hosting and backend constraints. My main goal was to explore cloud storage architecture and full-stack best practices.
