Your personal cloud

Your PC's files with you anywhere & AI enabled,without moving them to the cloud.

Securely browse, search, download, upload, and manage the files on your own Windows PC from any browser. Install one small app, sign in, and your computer becomes your private cloud. Nothing is synced to anyone's servers; a transfer only passes through. And when you choose, your AI agents can plug in too, only with your permission, and only what you allow.

How it works

No servers to set up, no storage to buy. Just three steps.

1

Install Folderbird on your PC

Run one small app on the Windows computer you want to reach. It sits quietly in the tray.

2

Sign in from any browser

Open folderbird.com on any phone, tablet, or computer — nothing to install where you’re viewing. Your PC appears, online and ready.

3

Access your files securely

Search, preview, download, upload, or manage your files, straight from the browser.

Forgot a document on your home PC? Open Folderbird, pick that computer, search the file name, preview it, and download it securely, from wherever you are.

Not cloud storage. The opposite.

Unlike Dropbox or OneDrive, Folderbird never syncs your files to someone else's servers. They stay on your PC; Folderbird just opens a secure, live door to them when you need it.

Cloud storage
Copies every file to a third party's servers
You rent (and trust them with) storage
Your data lives in their cloud, always
Folderbird
Files stay on your own PC, never synced
No storage to buy: it's your own disk
Secure, live access only when you need it
Powerful, and optional

AI access, only when you allow it

Connect Folderbird to Claude, ChatGPT or other AI agents so they can search and fetch files straight from your PC, with access you grant and can end any time, never by uploading your whole drive to a third‑party cloud. It speaks MCP and a clean REST API, and every bit of access is yours to grant or revoke.

Add it in claude.ai as a custom connector
Agents search by file name or by what's inside
They view or download what they find; commands recognised as deleting, moving or formatting files are refused until the agent re-sends them with an explicit confirmation

Two things a sync folder cannot do

Search everything, and run anything

The rest of this section is what any good file manager does. These two are why people stop using a sync folder.

Find anything, across every PC

One box searches every machine you have signed in — by file name, or by what is written inside the file. The PC does the looking; nothing is indexed off it.

Secure by design

Folderbird is a door to the computer you already own, not a company holding your files. The security model is the whole point.

Two‑factor sign‑in

Turn on two‑step verification and adding a new PC to your account needs a one‑time code as well as your password.

Paths are never exposed

Real file paths are encrypted before they touch a URL, so they never appear in links or browser history.

Only what you allow

Every device is signed in by you. API keys are scoped, can be bound to some devices, and stop within 1 minute of being deleted; a sign-in connector ends when you disconnect it in the AI app or under Connected apps (or after 14 days unused).

Standard, audited access

OAuth 2.1 for the AI connector, per‑key device binding, and a full audit log of every command run.

AI sees only your pick

An agent can use only the actions and devices you granted (a sign-in connector covers all your devices; an API key can be bound to some), and every command it runs is logged on your API keys page.

Revoke in one click

Delete an API key in one click: it stops working within 1 minute. A sign-in connector ends when you disconnect it in the AI app or under Connected apps on Folderbird.

Android

Send it straight to your PC.

The one thing a browser on a phone cannot do. Tap Share in any app — the camera roll, a chat, a PDF someone sent you — pick a folder on your computer, and it lands there. No cable, no cloud drive, no emailing it to yourself.

Share from any app on the phone into any folder on your PC.
Send a whole batch — pick thirty photos and watch them go one by one.
Pull a file back off your PC when you need it on the move.
Browsing and previewing work too — though for real work the website is quicker.
