#### Seafile Desktop Client

Seafile is a file syncing and sharing software with file encryption
and group sharing, emphasis on reliability and high performance.

library can be synced separately. A library can also be encrypted with
a user chosen password. Seafile also allows users to create groups and
easily sharing files into groups.
