About Seafile

Seafile is a file sync and sharing platform (C) with extensible file properties and flexible views. The server image is published on Docker Hub (seafileltd/seafile-mc) with an AUR package; official desktop clients ship on Flathub (com.seafile.Client) and Homebrew (seafile-client), and an official iOS app (Seafile Pro) is on the App Store. The GitHub API license is NOASSERTION and the repository has no root LICENSE file (raw HEAD/master/main all 404) — license pending human confirmation.
