Twake Drive review
Self-hosted team drives and OnlyOffice editing, with mobile support still in alpha.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Twake Drive is an open-source file storage and sharing product within Twake Workplace, aimed at teams that need shared drives and collaborative document editing. It supports uploading and organizing files, searching file names and document contents, and managing file versions. Teams can share with colleagues or create public links with configurable permissions. Its browser-based editing for documents, spreadsheets, and presentations uses OnlyOffice and supports real-time collaboration. Organizations looking for a self-hosted team workflow may find the deployment choices especially relevant; those who need a mature mobile experience should weigh the app's alpha status.
Deployment and pricing are central considerations. The vendor describes hosted and on-premises options, with the Enterprise plan listing dedicated deployments, compliance and governance options, advanced security controls and policies, and cloud, private-cloud, or on-premise deployment. Enterprise deployment is sales-contact, so buyers should expect to discuss pricing with the vendor rather than compare a published on-premises price. Twake Drive is also available as part of Twake Workplace; the advertised free personal Twake plan is not described as a free self-hosted Drive offering. This makes it a better fit for organizations evaluating a broader workplace deployment than for teams seeking a clearly priced standalone self-hosted plan.
The strongest functional fit is document collaboration around shared team files: OnlyOffice editing sits alongside permissions, content search, and file version control. That is a more focused proposition than a broad integration ecosystem; OnlyOffice is the integration identified for the product. Mobile browsing, uploads, and file management are described as alpha, so organizations relying on mobile access should be cautious. The vendor lists email, community, and documentation support channels, and GDPR among its compliance details. Choose Twake Drive if deployment control and shared document workflows matter most; consider alternatives if published self-hosted pricing, broader documented integrations, or established mobile functionality are priorities.
