Transform unused Android phones into a distributed personal cloud. No third-party servers — your hardware, your files, forever.
AI-powered search, Google Drive & OneDrive integration, remote file management, USB expansion, live node monitoring — all in a privacy-first platform that never stores your files.
Search files, check node health, trigger downloads, and upload — through natural conversation. Real-time streaming responses in any language.
Browse, upload, download and manage all your cloud accounts from one interface. File bytes go directly to Google or Microsoft — never through Clouvea.
Attach external USB drives via OTG. Detected in seconds, no config. Each drive becomes a named storage destination on your node.
Browse, create, rename, move, copy, and delete files on your nodes — from the web. Supports internal storage and USB volumes.
Battery level, storage used, online status — live heartbeat for every enrolled device, updated in real time with no refresh needed.
Images, PDFs & videos stream directly in your browser — no download required.
Photos and videos arranged in a justified date-grouped grid. Thumbnails generated and cached locally — nothing stored on Clouvea servers.
One search bar queries your Clouvea files AND every connected integration account simultaneously.
Private dedicated support thread with guaranteed faster response times for Pro and Power subscribers.
Full-featured mobile companion — upload, download, preview images/videos, and manage nodes on the go.
A built-in AI assistant that knows your files, nodes, and usage in real time — search, upload, download, and monitor through natural conversation.
Connect your existing cloud accounts. Browse and manage from inside Clouvea. Files always travel direct — Clouvea handles only auth tokens and metadata.
Browse files & folders
Navigate your full Drive or OneDrive folder tree inside Clouvea.
Zero-relay downloads
Clouvea fetches a direct CDN link — your browser pulls bytes straight from Google or Microsoft.
Direct uploads
Browser uploads directly to the provider. Zero relay quota consumed.
Cross-account search
One query simultaneously searches your Clouvea files AND every connected integration.
Full file operations
Rename, move, copy, delete, create folders — all pure metadata calls, no file bytes moved.
AES-256-GCM token storage
OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest. Your Google or Microsoft password is never seen by Clouvea.
How it flows
Four steps from zero to a fully operational personal cloud network.
Sign up at clouvea.com. Your account is the gateway to your personal cloud. The Free plan gets you started instantly — no credit card needed.
Download the Clouvea Node app on any spare Android phone you own. Even old or budget devices work perfectly as storage nodes.
Scan the QR or enter the enrollment token from your Clouvea web app in the Clouvea Node app. The phone joins your personal network in seconds.
Upload from the Clouvea web app and your files are transferred directly to your chosen enrolled device. Retrieve them from any browser, anywhere.
Clouvea is fundamentally different from every cloud service you've used. There is no Clouvea server storing your files. Period.
Traditional cloud services (Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud) copy your files to their servers. Clouvea is fundamentally different — it's just software that routes your files from your browser straight to your own enrolled storage devices and make them available to be accessible from anywhere like Cloud Storage.. Clouvea never sees, stores, or touches your file contents.
When you upload a file, it goes directly to your enrolled Android device — not to any Clouvea-owned infrastructure. We have zero access to your data.
Every upload and download is routed straight to your hardware. The Clouvea backend only manages metadata and routing — never your file contents.
All file transfers between your browser and your storage nodes are encrypted. Your data is unreadable to anyone without access to your account.
Each connected Google Drive or OneDrive account gets its own storage allocation from your plan quota. Files copied to integrations count against that allocation — keeping usage clear and predictable per account.
Attach external USB drives to any node phone via an OTG adapter. Your storage grows instantly — no plan upgrade required.
Plug a USB drive into your enrolled Android node using a standard OTG adapter — no apps, no settings, no restarts. Clouvea detects it automatically and adds it as a named volume in your dashboard. Files stored on the USB drive are accessible everywhere, just like internal storage. When you need more space, just plug in another drive.
Connect any USB drive via a standard OTG adapter. Clouvea detects it within seconds — no restart, no configuration.
Attach more than one drive using a USB hub. All volumes appear individually in Devices and as upload destinations.
Files on USB volumes are fully accessible from the web app and Android app — browse, upload, download, and manage just like internal storage.
USB volumes are extensions of one enrolled node. Attach as many drives as you like without touching your plan's node limit.
"Your dusty old Android is worth more than your cloud subscription."
