\# mCloud

A simple file management system that securely stores your data, but
without the clutter.

​

\## Reasons you should use mCloud instead of Nextcloud

1. There is a simple setup. The only thing the script asks you for is
your password for the admin account.
2. It is easy to run on low power devices such as a Raspberry Pi due
to its small amount of code.
3. The user interface is very minimalist, only the stuff you need, not
extra junk such as the chat feature.
4. More will be added soon such as:
   1. Folders
   2. Moving files
   3. Different sorting options
   4. An account page
   5. Password changing
   6. Adding users
   7. Profile pictures
   8. Sharing files across users
   9. If you can think of something else that you might like, please

ature-request.md&title=](https://github.com/beans-are-gross/mcloud/iss
ues/new?assignees=&labels=feature+request&projects=&template=feature-
request.md&title=)

​

\## How it works:

It is a PHP script that saves your file data in the "mcloud" folder in
your root directory of your OS. It saves an index of the file in a
MySQL database. Then pulls that data from the database and displays
it.

​

\## How to install:

You can simply install mCloud by using this command below:

\`\`\`

cd #

sudo apt update && sudo apt install git -y

git clone [https://github.com/beans-are-
gross/mcloud.git](https://github.com/beans-are-gross/mcloud.git)

cd mcloud

sudo bash [install.sh](https://install.sh)

\`\`\`

Someone who doesn't know any better is gonna run install.sh and wipe
out files already stored in `/var/www/html` with no warning.

I have added a check of how many files are in the `/var/www/html/`
folder, and if there is more than ,1 a notice will popup about
clearing the folder.

Yes, and I don't know most things about posting code.
