Project Lumen empowers you to organize, preview, and share your digital life effortlessly. Unlike traditional cloud providers, Lumen uses a **Federated Vault** model, giving you complete control over where your data lives—whether on European-based servers for strict privacy or US-based servers for global speed. The desktop client provides a seamless interface to manage and access your files directly from your Linux desktop, ensuring your most important documents and memories are always accessible. **Key Features:** * **Federated Sovereignty:** Choose your storage region (e.g., Germany or USA) to ensure your data stays within your preferred jurisdiction. * **Media Management:** A beautiful, unified interface for previewing photos, videos, and documents directly within the app. * **Shared Drives:** Collaborate with teams or family members using unlimited shared drives (available on Premium tiers). * **Privacy First:** Built by Anikeen with a commitment to transparency and secure processing via industry leaders like Hetzner and Stripe. **Account Requirement:** A Project Lumen account is required to use this application. You can sign up for a **Free Account (5 GB Storage included)** directly at or within the application. Upgrade to higher tiers (up to 2 TB) at any time for more space and advanced collaboration features. ### Package name * lumen --- ### License * Proprietary --- ### Last updated * 3 May 2026 - latest/stable --- ### Websites * [lumen.cool](https://lumen.cool/ "https://lumen.cool/") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/lumen/opensuse#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Project Lumen Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE. With the repository added, import its GPG key: ``` sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh ``` Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository: ``` sudo zypper dup --from snappy ``` Snap can now be installed with the following: ``` sudo zypper install snapd ``` You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor ``` ### Install Project Lumen To install Project Lumen, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install lumen ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
