what is aliyunpan fr?

This project is a third-party desktop application for Alibaba Cloud Drive, known in Chinese as Aliyun Pan. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is intended as an alternative to the official client. The README is written in Chinese, but the key points are accessible from the content. The main reason people use this client is speed. The benchmarks in the README show it uploading and downloading files significantly faster than the official Aliyun Pan desktop client. In one test, uploading 44,000 small JSON files totaling 24 GB took 24 minutes with this client compared to 41 minutes with the official one. For large files, the difference was similar. Beyond speed, the application adds features that the official client lacks or handles differently. You can be logged into multiple accounts at the same time and switch between them. The built-in video player supports playing original-quality video files stored in the cloud, with options for external subtitles, audio tracks, and playback speed adjustment. You can preview images, text files, and documents including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF without downloading them first. For file management, the app supports batch renaming across large numbers of files and nested folders, sorting files and folders together by name, size, or date, and one-click listing of all files inside a folder. It can also send files directly to a remote server or NAS via a tool called Aria2, which is a separate download manager that runs on a remote machine. Online archive extraction and a recycle bin for deleted files are also included. The project is open-source and community-maintained.
