bewCloud
A lightweight personal cloud for files, photos, and notes

bewCloud is a lightweight personal cloud server that provides a unified web interface for storing and organizing files, managing photos, and keeping simple notes. It is designed as a minimal, easy-to-run alternative to heavier “all-in-one” cloud suites.
Key Features
- Web-based file manager for uploading, downloading, browsing, and organizing content
- Photo library with basic browsing and album-style organization
- Built-in notes for quick personal documentation
- Sharing via public links for files/folders (useful for ad-hoc collaboration)
- User accounts for separating personal spaces (where configured)
Use Cases
- Replace a basic Dropbox-style personal file space on your own server
- Host a private photo library for family devices and backups
- Keep lightweight notes alongside your documents in the same web portal
Limitations and Considerations
- Feature scope is intentionally minimal compared to full groupware suites (e.g., fewer collaboration and office features)
bewCloud fits individuals and small households that want a clean, single-purpose personal cloud with straightforward file and media organization. It is a practical option when you want something simpler than large platforms while still offering web access and link sharing.
