What Tricloud is
A familiar cloud drive with a different source of capacity.
Tricloud is a Windows desktop cloud-storage beta. It combines everyday file storage, sharing, backup, and offline access with an experimental mode that lets participating PCs contribute selected unused disk space.
Conventional cloud
The provider supplies the storage.
Capacity generally comes from infrastructure operated or contracted by the cloud provider. Customers use the service; the provider supplies the underlying storage.
- Provider-operated capacity
- Customer and provider are separate roles
- Mature production infrastructure
- Participant-contributed capacity
- Use storage and optionally provide it
- Early technical prototype
versus
Tricloud beta
Participants can supply storage too.
A person can use cloud storage and optionally contribute a chosen amount of spare capacity from their Windows PC to the experimental test network. A contributor reward program is planned for the future, but its timing and terms have not been decided, and no rewards are paid during the current beta.
Important distinction
Distributed storage, centrally coordinated.
Tricloud is not a fully decentralized dApp. Authentication, account information, file metadata, node management, placement, and coordination remain on a central management server. The current beta uses no blockchain, token, wallet, smart contract, NFT, or DAO.
One app, two roles
Store. Share. Provide.
Start with familiar cloud-drive tasks. If you want to help test the experimental network, you can also allocate spare disk space from the same desktop app.
01
Store and organize
Create folders, upload and download test files, and manage them through a desktop cloud-drive interface.
02
Back up and use offline
Test automatic backup and make selected files or folders available when your PC is offline.
03
Contribute spare space
Choose an amount, start the provider node, monitor its status, and stop contribution whenever necessary. A contributor reward program is planned for the future, but its timing and terms have not been decided, and no rewards are paid during the current beta.

Public beta · v0.1.1-beta
Built for testing, not yet for irreplaceable files.
Tricloud is an early prototype. These limits are stated clearly so testers know exactly what they are installing and what the current beta can—and cannot—promise.
Windows only
Tested on two Windows 11 x64 PCs. Windows 10, Windows on ARM64, macOS, and Linux have not been verified for this release.
β
Experimental beta
Features may be incomplete, unstable, or temporarily unavailable. Use small, non-sensitive test files only.
0
No rewards yet
Storage providers receive no money, cryptocurrency, token, or other reward during the current beta test.
!
Unsigned installer
The beta is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen displays a warning. Download only from the official GitHub release.
Ready to test?
Start with a small file you can safely replace.
The installer includes the backend files and Python runtime needed by storage-provider mode.
Help answer the question behind Tricloud.
Does cloud storage have to depend only on large centralized storage providers? This beta is looking for practical evidence: can ordinary users understand the idea, install the app, use its basic storage features, and reliably contribute spare space?
Early feedback matters most now because the product and its onboarding can still change quickly.
Tester feedback
Tell us where the beta feels clear—and where it does not.
A short note about your first ten minutes with Tricloud is useful. Bug reports, confusing labels, installation friction, and failed expectations are all welcome.
