Freaking FastFile DriveBeta
A media-native home for serious personal libraries. Originals stay protected, previews are immediate, and delivery happens near whoever opens the file.
One durable object. The original never moves when a surface is published.
The file is not a blob. It is the durable center of the work.
One living object: a protected source, the context attached to it, and whatever surfaces you expose.
Original
The upload stays canonical. Nothing you publish ever moves it, and nothing you publish ever copies it.
Context
Tags, previews, generated output, and media data attach to the source and travel with it.
Surface
Gallery item, playlist track, public link, archive — each exposed on request, none a duplicate.
From source file to usable surface
Familiar steps. The storage, preview, and delivery layers stay out of the way — and every step has a shell equivalent.
Ingest
Images, mixes, cuts, PDFs, archives — and the stray files that never belonged in a tree.
$ fffd upload ~/shoots/*.rawCurate
Tags, permissions, previews, and artwork become context that travels with the source.
$ fffd describe q3-review-cut.mp4 "client edit"Work
Open galleries, play media, queue archives, generate images — the original never moves.
$ fffd ls --type video --sort dateRelease
Publish only the surface you intend. The private original stays intact.
$ fffd access sunset-collectionJust your library, ready to move.
No folders. No exports. No plumbing.
Tags that overlap, search that matches how you remember, and delivery that happens on its own.
Tags instead of folders
One file belongs to a client, a project, a gallery, and a private set at once — with no copy anywhere.
Search by memory
Name, tag, type, or access state — for when you remember the context but not the path.
Favorites
Mark what you return to. Recent work stays close.
Cached where it is opened
Public files land near readers as they are requested. Nothing to configure.
Playlists and shuffle
Sets, shuffle, repeat — the listening surface lives inside the library.
Streams in the browser
Large media stays inspectable. No download, no external app.
Public by choice
The library stays private. Publish exactly what is ready to leave.
Drive it from the shell
Every surface has a command behind it, and a token when clicking is the wrong tool.
One surface. Four jobs.
Present a set, play a cut, generate an image, hand off an archive — no export step in between.

~ Object storage, edge cache, and a simple file-drive interface. Metadata and cache sit with storage, so sharing stays simple.
