CONTROL THAT STARTS WITH YOU
Your storage stays yours.
Cavdeck is a desktop client, not a hosted storage service. It connects from your Windows PC to the endpoints you configure, while your storage provider remains in control of access.
Read the security and privacy notesDirect connections
Connect from your PC to configured S3-compatible endpoints—without routing your files through a Cavdeck service.
Credentials stay local
Connection credentials are stored in Windows Credential Manager. No Cavdeck account is needed.
Scoped access
Use read-only connections or limit access to a bucket and key prefix. Your provider's permissions remain authoritative.
Is Cavdeck free and open source?
Yes. Cavdeck is free to use and is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later. You can review the source code and contribute on GitHub.
Which storage services can I use?
Cavdeck works with Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, and other S3-compatible endpoints. Individual features depend on the provider and your permissions.
Where do my credentials and files go?
Cavdeck connects directly from your computer to your configured storage endpoints. Connection credentials are stored in Windows Credential Manager; there is no Cavdeck account.
Can I copy files between providers?
Yes. Copy and move operations can span buckets or connections. Cross-connection transfers pass through your computer and may incur provider request or transfer charges.
What do I need to run Cavdeck?
Cavdeck is a Windows desktop application. Windows 11 is its primary testing target; the published installation guidance covers Windows x64. Check GitHub Releases for available builds.
