ZPan is a lightweight file hosting platform built on top of S3-compatible storage. Files upload directly from the client to S3 through presigned URLs, bypassing server bandwidth entirely. The server is the control plane: auth, metadata, shares, quotas, teams, WebDAV, tool integrations, and admin operations.
The product boundary is intentional: ZPan is a purpose-built S3-native web drive, not a wrapper around every consumer cloud drive and not a full groupware suite. You bring an S3-compatible bucket; ZPan gives it a clean web UI, public sharing, image-hosting APIs, and deployment options that do not require a VPS or NAS.

**S3 only, by design.** ZPan does not chase every net-disk provider or build a cloud-drive nesting layer. The storage contract stays simple and durable: S3-compatible buckets such as Cloudflare R2, AWS S3, Backblaze B2, MinIO, RustFS, Tigris, and other S3-compatible services.
**Serverless native.** ZPan is built around Cloudflare Workers, D1, Hono, and web-standard APIs, with Docker and other runtimes as additional deployment targets. You can run a real file-hosting control plane without owning a VPS, keeping a NAS online, or proxying uploads through a long-running server.

**Direct transfer path.** Uploads and downloads use presigned object-storage URLs whenever possible. That keeps server bandwidth low, avoids a central file-transfer bottleneck, and lets object storage do the heavy lifting.

## How ZPan Compares
Most self-hosted file projects start from either server files, desktop sync, collaboration, or many-provider aggregation. ZPan starts from S3-compatible object storage and a serverless-friendly control plane.
