In plain words

Zero is a local file system tool that transparently swaps files between a computer and cloud storage. Launched in 2018, it allows users to access all their files locally while automatically managing which ones physically reside on their device versus in the cloud. The system is designed for anyone with limited local storage who wants seamless access to larger file collections without manual management. It's available as open-source software on GitHub.

Now you tell me I need to master bucket policies, ACL, CORS, multipart uploads, content headers, CDN, presigned URLs, and a bunch of other crap? I can't be asked, so I built FILE0. It's for storing files but you don't need to complete an online course.
