Paperfold roadmap: current features, what’s coming next, and what I should build first

Paperfold is a desktop cloud storage app built on top of Telegram’s cloud, focused on speed, simplicity, and a clean file-system experience.

Current features (MVP):

• Upload and download files directly to Telegram cloud

• Folder-based organization with a desktop-first UX

• Fast, lightweight app built with Tauri + React

• No separate backend or storage costs

What’s coming next:

• Smarter file search and indexing

• Background uploads and better sync handling

• Improved folder operations and large file reliability

• Optional encryption and advanced privacy controls

Planned addition:
I’m also working on a Google Photos like experience on top of Paperfold automatic media backup, timeline-based browsing, and fast preview of images and videos, all stored in Telegram cloud.

This is still early and evolving. I’d love feedback on:

• Which features matter most for daily use

• What would make you switch from traditional cloud storage

• Whether a Photos-style experience is something you’d actually use

Happy to answer questions and iterate based on real feedback.
