in plain english

Telegram Cloud Drive is a self-hosted file storage application that uses Telegram's Bot API as the actual storage backend. Instead of saving your files on a traditional server or paying for cloud storage, all uploaded files go directly into a Telegram bot that you control. This makes the storage effectively free and unlimited, since Telegram does not charge for bot file storage. The application gives you a web interface that looks and works like a typical cloud drive. You can upload and download files, organize them into folders, mark favorites, move items to a trash bin with the option to restore them, and search across your files. Sharing is supported with optional password protection and expiration dates on links, so shared files can automatically stop being accessible after a set time. It supports multiple user accounts with different roles: regular users and admins. Each user can be assigned a storage quota limit. Login is secured with JWT authentication (a standard method of keeping user sessions secure). The interface works on both desktop and mobile and is available in Vietnamese and English. The tech stack is PHP with the Laravel framework for the backend, SQLite as the database, and Blade templates for the frontend. You set it up by creating a Telegram bot via Telegram's BotFather tool, putting the bot token in a configuration file, and running the application on a server. The license is MIT, meaning it is free to use and modify.
