Introduction [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/haiwen/seafile.svg?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/haiwen/seafile)
============

Seafile is an open source cloud storage system with features on privacy protection and teamwork. Collections of files are called libraries, and each library can be synced separately. A library can also be encrypted with a user chosen password. Seafile also allows users to create groups and easily sharing files into groups.

Each Seafile library behaves like a Git repository. It has its own unique history, which consists of a list of commits.
A commit points to the root of a file system snapshot. The snapshot consists of directories and files.
Files are further divided into blocks for more efficient network transfer and storage usage.
However, Seafile doesn't rely on Git to run.

Source repositories for Seafile components
==========================================

Each component of Seafile has its own source code repository on Github.

* Sync client daemon (this repository): https://github.com/haiwen/seafile
* Sync client GUI: https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-client
* Server core: https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-server
* Server web UI: https://github.com/haiwen/seahub
* iOS app: https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-iOS
* Android app: https://github.com/haiwen/seadroid
* WebDAV: https://github.com/haiwen/seafdav

Before version 6.0, the source code of "sync client daemon" and "server core" are mixed together in https://github.com/haiwen/seafile.
But after 6.0 version, the server core is separated into its own repository.
For this reason, the sync client daemon repository is still the "front page" for Seafile project on Github.
