Telegram Drive is a free, open-source file management application that transforms a Telegram account into a cloud storage workspace for organizing, transferring, accessing, and sharing files. Built with Tauri, Rust, and React, the software provides a desktop-style interface for managing files stored in Telegram Saved Messages and channels. Users can upload, download, organize, search, and preview files, with support for drag-and-drop transfers, background operations, and automatic retry functionality. Telegram Drive includes built-in media playback, PDF viewing, archive extraction, and bidirectional folder synchronization between local directories and Telegram storage. The application also offers optional client-side encryption, password-protected sharing, WebDAV access, and a local REST API for integrating with other applications and workflows. Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and Google TV.
