"Secure, Fast, But Needs UI Improvements"
What do you like best about Seafile?

I like Seafile's strong focus on security combined with performance. File syncing is very fast, even with large files, and version control makes it easy to recover older documents without hassle. The self-hosting option gives full control over data, which is great for privacy-focused teams. Its permission management is flexible, allowing precise access control. Overall, it feels reliable, lightweight, and well-suited for both individual and team collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Seafile?

One area where Seafile could improve is the user interface, which can feel less intuitive for new users. Initial setup and configuration, especially for self-hosting, may require technical knowledge. Integration options with third-party apps are also more limited compared to some competitors, and mobile app features feel a bit basic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Seafile to store my files, and it allows my documents to be stored safely on the cloud without getting lost. I like that Seafile is available on the Google Play Store, which makes it easy for me to transfer documents from my Android phone to the Seafile cloud. It's fast and reliable, and downloading files from the internet to my phone is no longer a problem because I can simply transfer them to Seafile. Seafile is faster to set up and secure than the alternative I used before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Additionally, I would recommend Seafile for its security, reliable synchronization, and version control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seafile Review: Sync, Share, and Collaborate with Ease"
What do you like best about Seafile?

What I like most about Seafile is its ease of use — the interface is straightforward, making daily file syncing simple and reliable. I also appreciate the ease of implementation; once set up, it integrates smoothly into our workflow without requiring much overhead. The customer support has been responsive and helpful whenever questions arise, which adds confidence in using the platform regularly. Because of its stability and speed, the frequency of use in our team is very high, as it has become a core tool for file sharing and collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Seafile?

The web interface and mobile applications are functional, though they do not feel as polished or up-to-date as those offered by Dropbox or Google Drive. Additionally, while Seafile is strong in file syncing and sharing, it does not provide the extensive ecosystem of additional apps—such as calendars or office suites—that you find with Nextcloud. Ease of integration is also a challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android, ensuring accessibility from anywhere"
What do you like best about Seafile?

Seafile offers high-speed, block-level syncing, which means only the changed parts of files are updated rather than the entire file. This makes it much faster than traditional file sync tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Seafile?

The ability to create libraries, share them with teams, and have fine-grained permission control makes it excellent for team collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
