Trovebox works similarly to Flickr or Smugmug. We've focused on making sure that the design, UI and UX is as good as our commercial alternatives. You can upload, view and share photos through the web or by using our mobile apps.
Unlike most services you can install Trovebox on your own server and connect it to cloud storage services like Dropbox or Amazon S3. We wanted to make FOSS software that's as good as what the commercial sites offer without having to give up privacy.
While Trovebox functions like many existing services it's drastically different for several reasons.
