Seedr supports file access through account-specific protocol endpoints, with availability depending on the plan. Use the current mounting guide and test the required read or write operation. A historical announcement is not a guarantee that every app exposes identical operations.

Your Seedr cloud just became a two-way drive

Seedr now supports full read and write access across WebDAV, FTP, and SFTP on premium plans. That means your cloud behaves like a real drive, not a one-way download bucket. Mount it in Finder or Explorer, point Plex at it, let Sonarr rename episodes directly in Seedr. Everything stays in one place.

Why we built this

Seedr started life as a fast way to pull links into the cloud and stream from a browser. That worked, but people kept asking for the other half of the loop.

  • "Can Sonarr rename my files after import so my Plex library looks clean?"
  • "Can I drag a folder from my laptop into my Seedr account without re-uploading through the web UI?"
  • "Can my NAS push a nightly backup into Seedr over SFTP?"

The old answer was "sort of." FTP worked for reading, but writes were fiddly. WebDAV was there but limited. SFTP did not exist yet. If you wanted a true mounted drive you were patching around the edges.

We rebuilt the mount stack so the answer is now just "yes." One account, three protocols, full read and write.

What changed

Before: FTP was read-focused with patchy write support. WebDAV existed but would stall on larger operations. No SFTP endpoint at all.

Now:

  • SFTP endpoint live at sftp://sftp.seedr.cc:2222. Encrypted by default. Works out of the box with Plex, Jellyfin, rsync, rclone, Mountain Duck, Cyberduck, and every modern file manager.
  • FTP polished. Better reconnect logic, higher sustained throughput, far fewer "save failed" errors on long operations.
  • WebDAV strengthened for Master plan users at https://dav.seedr.cc. Renames, moves, and deletes all behave the way macOS Finder and Windows Explorer expect.
  • True two-way control. Rename, move, delete, and upload from your desktop or your automation tool. No more bouncing back to the web UI to finish the job.

Plan split:

  • Pro (200 GB): full read + write over FTP and SFTP.
  • Master (1 TB): full read + write over FTP, SFTP, and WebDAV.

How to use it today

Pick the protocol that matches your app. Then point it at the right endpoint.

  1. Mount as a drive. On Windows use RaiDrive. On macOS use Mountain Duck or Cyberduck. On Linux use rclone mount. - FTP: ftp://ftp.seedr.cc - SFTP: sftp://sftp.seedr.cc port 2222 - WebDAV: https://dav.seedr.cc (Master only)
  2. Point your media server at Seedr. In Plex, Jellyfin, or Infuse, add a new library and set its path to the mounted Seedr folder. New cloud saves appear in the library moments after they finish downloading into Seedr.
  3. Wire up Sonarr or Radarr. Set the download client output path to the Seedr mount. Let the *arr tools rename and move files directly inside Seedr. No extra scripts.
  4. Back up a NAS. On Synology, QNAP, or TrueNAS, add Seedr as an SFTP remote. Schedule rsync nightly. Your Seedr library becomes an off-site copy.

Roadmap

A few things we are still working on:

  • Larger concurrent write queues on WebDAV for batch-import workflows.
  • Per-app credentials so you can issue a dedicated password to each automation tool and rotate without breaking everything.
  • Bandwidth reporting broken out by protocol so you can see exactly what Sonarr versus Plex is pulling.

None of those are blockers for the use cases above. They are quality-of-life work for power users.

One cloud, two-way

Seedr Cloud is now a real drive. Mount it, write to it, rename in it, and point your whole home setup at it. The wall between "cloud" and "local" is thinner than it was yesterday.

Make Seedr your mounted drive

Choose copy or mount deliberately

  • Use the endpoint and credentials shown in your own Seedr account; do not copy an example password.

  • Confirm your plan includes the protocol. FTP, SFTP and WebDAV are different connections.

  • A mount still transfers data and may cache locally. Test a small file, permissions and reconnection before adding a library.

Frequently asked questions

Does a network mount remove the need for internet?

No. Reading uncached cloud data requires a connection. Some clients also keep local cache files.

Does Seedr run my media server?

No. Plex and Jellyfin still need their own running server. Seedr can supply files to a compatible mounted or copied library.
