BaseFolder

BaseFolder is a cool tool that lets you use your computer like a personal cloud storage system. With BaseFolder, you can share files right from your Mac without having to upload them to some third-party servers. How awesome is that?

Your Personal Cloud Storage Solution

The BaseFolder app for macOS works hand-in-hand with the BaseFolder web service, which you can access from almost any device. To kick things off, just sign up for a BaseFolder account – it’s free!

Easy File Sharing

This handy app creates a special folder on your Mac. Any files you drop in there will show up automatically in the BaseFolder web console as soon as you log into your account. If you want to share those files, you'll need to hop onto the web application.

Status Bar Menu and Navigation

One thing to keep in mind: the BaseFolder status bar menu only lets you open the app's folder, unlink your account, or quit the app. If you're looking to open the web console, you'll have to do that separately.

Secure File Transfers

The best part? Since BaseFolder doesn’t store your files on third-party servers and downloads them straight from your computer, sharing data feels pretty secure! Plus, they use encryption methods to keep everything safe.

File Availability and Upload Options

You can only transfer files when your Mac is online. But don't worry! Through the BaseFolder console, you can still see available files and share links even if your computer is off. If you'd like more flexibility, there's an option to upload files directly to BaseFolder's cloud servers so they’re always accessible.

Wrapping It Up

To sum it all up: BaseFolder turns your Mac storage into personal cloud space while giving you access to extra third-party storage anytime.

A Small Drawback

The only downside? You can't share file links directly through the app; you'll have to go through the web console every time. Plus, each link needs to be sent via email instead of being shared directly.
