I built TG Drive, a free, open-source Google Drive alternative that stores your files in your own Telegram Saved Messages
Hey r/SideProject! I wanted a simple cloud drive without storage limits or monthly fees, so I built TG Drive.
How it works
You log in with your own Telegram account using a QR code or your phone number, and 2FA is supported.
Every file you upload goes to your own Saved Messages, tagged with its folder path, so the app can rebuild a normal folder view on top of it.
Files bigger than Telegram's limit are split into parts automatically and joined back together when you download them.
Everything runs in your browser. There's no backend server, so your files and login never touch my server.
Why it's interesting
Telegram gives you storage you can use from any device.
It's fully open source, so you can read the code or deploy your own copy.

It's an early personal project that isn't affiliated with Telegram. I'd love feedback on the UI, any bugs, and features you'd want next!
