Ori Distributed File System

Ori

A Secure Distributed File System


Ori is a distributed file system built for offline operation and empowers the user with control over synchronization operations and conflict resolution. We provide history through light weight snapshots and allow users to verify the history has not been tampered with. Through the use of replication instances can be resilient and recover damaged data from other nodes.

Peer-to-Peer

Ori operates peer-to-peer among your devices and uses existing secure communication channels such as SSH to transfer your data.

Work Offline

In today's world we often are moving around with intermittent network connectivity and we want to access our data when we board a plane or travel to the office.

Secure

Ori can verify the authenticity of your data and ensure it has not been tampered with. Data is transfered over SSH. Device discovery and automatic synchronization uses a shared secret to initiate transfers.

Instant Access

Instantly mount remote file systems and start working while you synchronize data in the background.
