What is ArDrive?
ArDrive is a cloud storage application built on Arweave that lets users upload files, apps, and websites once and keep them stored permanently. It suits individuals and teams who want to avoid recurring subscriptions, including archivists, developers, photographers, and NFT creators. Main features include end to end encryption for private drives, version tracking, permanent site and app hosting, content streaming, file licensing, and enriched metadata. Files are stored on Arweave rather than ArDrive servers, and the app, CLI, and core libraries are open source. Payment is per file, in crypto or fiat, with no storage cap or subscription plans.
