BeeDrive: Open Source Privacy File Transfering System for Teams and Individual Developers
Project description
BeeDrive
For privacy and convenience purposes, more and more people try to keep data on their own hardwires instead of third-party cloud services such as Google Drive, OneDrive, and Baidu Drive. While large companies have enough resources to develop their cloud storage services, individual developers and startups are not capable of building a new cloud storage system.
BeeDrive is an open-source file storage and transfer system that you can quickly deploy on your computing station, online cloud servers, and laptops. We provide a new TCP-based protocol to make sure your data safety. The significance between BeeDrive with other TCP-based protocols (e.g., HTTP and FTP) is encrypting data with users' passwords. Moreover, BeeDrive has a built-in NAT service so that you can access your workstation without a stable IP using your laptop.
Features
-
Security &Privacy
In contrast with protocols like HTTP and FTP, BeeDrive keeps your data safe during each time of data transfer based on your password. It means that even if attackers obtain open-source BeeDrive code like you, they can't crack your encrypted data. Specifically, before transferring each piece of your data, BeeDrive first signs your data and password with the MD5 algorithm then applies the AES algorithm to encrypt it with your password as a private key.
-
Efficiency & Scalable
We didn't sacrifice performance for safety. BeeDrive can transfer individual files at a rate of 50MB/s with encryption, while it can even reach over 100MB/s without encryption. This performance is sufficient for typical file transfer scenarios, such as file exchange within the same data center (w/o encryption) and unsafety World Wide Web transfers (w/ encryption).
BeeDrive cloud drive service relies on a multi-processing and multi-threading architecture to support concurrency scenarios. It will automatically launch and destroy new managers (Process-based) and workers (Thread-based) regarding the number of queries. Single Intel i7 CPU (workstation-version) can support ~100 downloading/uploading tasks simultaneously!
-
Free Network Address Translation (NAT)
Most individual developers and startups need to access their personal computers via their laptops. Although LAN Port Forwarding is a common choice, users take risks to be attacked. BeeDrive provides several public forwarding proxies world wild to help you access your data far away from your home. Once you have your cloud service, you can even deploy your own NAT service!
-
User Friendly API Designs
We keep BeeDrive as simple as we can. Firstly, you can obtain BeeDrive in flexible ways, such as PyPi, Source Code, and Executable Files (.exe). More than that, we have automatic strategies to help you manage configurations. To help you follow task progresses, we have rich information on console, and a simplify GUI window! No matter you are an expert or a freshman, you can always find a way that suits your style.
Installation
The easiest way to get BeeDrive is using PyPi!
> pip install BeeDrive
You can launch BeeDrive in CMD with BeeDrive
and a GUI interface with BeeDrive-gui
.
> BeeDrive -h
BeeDrive Command Line Launcher!
positional arguments:
{cloud,upload,download,proxy}
whice service you need?
arg1 the first additional argument (optional)
arg2 the second additional argument (optional)
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-mode {app,cmd} work on Command Line or Window Application?
-reset_config {y,n} reset default configure file [y|n]
-custom_config CUSTOM_CONFIG
launch service with your custom configure file
The GUI interface will show if you are on a Mac/Windows platform.
> BeeDrive-gui
If you can't run above codes, try the followings instead.
> python -m BeeDrive -h
> python -m BeeDrive-gui
BeeDrive relies on two optional dependencies. PySimpleGUI
is used to support GUI interface. pycryptodome
is used for encrypting. They are not necessary if you don't need on these two purposes.
Examples

Personal Drive Service
You ONLY need to setup at the first time running
BeeDrive cloud
, it will remember your setting in the future.In this case, we not only launch a local personal drive, but also regist it on our public forwarding servers.
47.89.211.235:8889
is running at US, while8.130.53.35:8889
is working in China. After we have a name on proxies, our drive can be accessed with this nick name instead of IP address.
> BeeDrive cloud

Upload File/Folder

myfile.txt
to the cloud drive we just setup. Again, you will have to fill out these settings at the first time ONLY.
> BeeDrive upload myfile.txt

Forwarding Proxy (Free NAT)
Forwarding proxy doesn't support GUI because we think it should work on servers only. This service only relies on one single argument! That is the port you need.
> BeeDrive proxy 8889
[Sun Jan 23 03:49:58 2022] INFO: Public Host Proxy is launched at port 8889
[Sun Jan 23 03:50:03 2022] INFO: Registration 198.137.18.12:8888 with Nickname=BeeDrive
