## Introduction
OpenCloud is an open-source file management platform built for organizations that need sovereign control over their documents. It provides file sync, sharing, and collaboration features with a modern web interface, without depending on third-party cloud providers.

## What OpenCloud Does
- Provides file storage, sync, and sharing with fine-grained permissions
- Supports real-time collaborative editing of documents
- Integrates with existing identity providers via OIDC and LDAP
- Offers desktop and mobile sync clients across platforms
- Enables spaces and projects for team-based file organization

## Architecture Overview
OpenCloud is written in Go with a microservices-inspired internal architecture. Storage backends are pluggable (local filesystem, S3, or distributed storage). The web frontend communicates via a standards-based API (WebDAV and REST). Authentication is delegated to an embedded or external OIDC provider.

## Self-Hosting & Configuration
- Single binary deployment or Docker/Kubernetes for production
- Configure storage backend via environment variables
- Integrate with external LDAP/AD for user management
- TLS termination handled by reverse proxy or built-in
- Horizontal scaling by separating stateless services

## Key Features
- Spaces-based organization for teams and projects
- Full-text search across stored documents
- Version history and trash bin with configurable retention
- Guest accounts for external collaboration
- Extensible app framework for custom integrations
