# 🗝 [FREE FOREVER] TELEGRAM DRIVE — Skip Dropbox, Skip Google, Get Unlimited Cloud Storage Free ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/f/3/f3c7f8d36b046735f13a2ae31c4c55049f3f25c2.jpeg) ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/f/8/f83f1b145fc85355feedbaaa8240e2e25a617177.jpeg) Google Drive: 15 GB free, then it’s $$/month forever. Dropbox: same scam, smaller free tier. Meanwhile **Telegram lets you upload 2 GB files free, basically forever**. I’m the dev of **Telegram Drive** — an open-source app that takes that hidden free storage and turns it into a clean Google-Drive-style file manager. Same files-and-folders shape you already know, just sitting on top of the messaging app you already have. - Old thread by SRZ blew up with great feedback — this is **v1.1.45 with the bugs squashed** and the setup gotchas everyone hit baked into the steps below. # 💡 What’s actually happening Telegram has a chat called **“Saved Messages”** — a chat with yourself. You can dump files in there forever. No “buy more space” pop-ups. This app dresses that chat up to **look and feel like Google Drive** — folders, search, previews, drag-and-drop, the works. Your files still live on Telegram’s servers. The app is just the front door that makes it usable. # 🧰 What you get - 📤 **Drag, drop, done** — files up to 2 GB each - 📁 **Folders, tags, smart search** — find that 2-year-old PDF in 5 seconds - 👁 **Preview without downloading** — photos, videos, audio, PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, ZIP, CSV — all open in-app - ⏸ **Pause / resume / retry** — uploads survive shitty Wi-Fi - 🗑 **Trash + restore** — undo your _“oh no”_ moments - 🛠 **Repair index, backup, recovery** — the boring safety stuff that matters when something breaks # 📱 Get it on whatever you’ve got | Platform | Link | | --- | --- | | 🌐 Web _(works in any browser, nothing to install)_ | [sachinmandawi.github.io/Telegram-Drive](https://sachinmandawi.github.io/Telegram-Drive/) | | 🖥 Windows / Mac / Linux | [v1.1.45 installers](https://github.com/sachinmandawi/Telegram-Drive/releases/latest) | | 📱 Android **APK** _(install-outside-Play-Store file)_ | Same releases page, grab `arm64-debug.apk` for most phones | # 🔑 The one-time setup — read this before you start The app needs to prove it’s _you_ hitting Telegram’s servers — like flashing your ID at a club door, once. Telegram calls this an **API key** _(two short strings only you see)_. Free, takes 3 minutes. 1. 🛑 **Turn your VPN OFF first.** This is the #1 reason setup fails. Telegram’s anti-spam slams VPN signups with `API_ID_INVALID` errors. 2. Go to [my.telegram.org](https://my.telegram.org) → log in with your Telegram phone number — **include the country code with `+`** _(e.g. `+91xxxxx`, not just the local digits)_ 3. Click **“API development tools”** → make an app (any random name, any random short name, leave the rest blank) 4. Copy your **API ID** and **API Hash** 5. Paste them into Telegram Drive once. VPN back on after, if you want > 💡 Keys stay on your device only. The live web app never sends them to me or any server. Code’s open — you can verify. # 🚨 If something doesn’t work — quick fixes Three issues from the old thread, all solvable: | What you see | Fix | | --- | --- | | `API_ID_INVALID` while making credentials | VPN was on. Turn it off, redo step 2 | | Phone number rejected | Add country code with `+` (Abd\_Shk’s tip — works) | | Upload stuck in queue forever | Was a real bug in v1.1.10. Fixed in **v1.1.45**. Grab the latest, retry the file | | Storage showing ~250 GB cap | Telegram started capping some newer free accounts. Older accounts still see the big number. If you hit a cap, you’ve found Telegram’s new policy, not a bug in the app | # 🤐 Why this beats paying for cloud | | Telegram Drive | Google Drive | Dropbox | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Cost** | $0 | $1.99–$9.99/mo after 15 GB | $9.99/mo for 2 TB | | **Free quota** | Generous (varies by account) | 15 GB hard cap | 2 GB | | **Code** | Open-source _(public, anyone reads it)_ | Closed | Closed | | **Per-file size** | 2 GB | 5 TB if you pay | 50 GB if you pay | # 🆕 What’s new in v1.1.45 (since SRZ’s post) - ✅ Upload queue bug fixed (the one that stalled for half of you) - ✅ Better PDF + video previews — pinch-zoom, rotate, fullscreen - ✅ Folder color tags + grid resizing - ✅ Repair Index button if your file list ever desyncs - ✅ All-new desktop builds aligned across Windows/Mac/Linux + Android APKs Not affiliated with Telegram. Use it like a normal Telegram user — don’t be a dick with copyright junk and you’ll be fine. ⭐ on [GitHub](https://github.com/sachinmandawi/Telegram-Drive) if it saves you a subscription. Bug reports, feature ideas, roasts — all welcome. What’s the first thing you’re stuffing in there? ---

A **3 out of 71** detection rate is quite low and is a classic sign of a false positive rather than genuine malware. When real malware is present, you’d typically expect far more vendors — especially major ones — to flag it. ## **The Specific Detections Are Weak** Looking at your screenshot, the three flagging vendors are: - **Sophos** — flagged as “Generic ML PUA (PUA)”, which is an **AI/machine learning heuristic** detection. These are known to produce a high rate of false positives, especially on installer `.exe` files. - **DeepInstinct** and **SecureAge** — both use AI/ML-driven detection methods, which are more aggressive and flag based on behavioral patterns rather than confirmed signatures. All three are ML/AI-based detections with no specific malware name or family — a strong indicator of a false positive. ## **The “overlay” Tag** The file has an `overlay` tag, meaning it has data appended after the main executable — this is **very common in installer packages** (like NSIS or Inno Setup installers, which bundle files within the `.exe`). Some AV engines flag this pattern by default even when harmless. ## **Context Supports Safety** The file (`Telegram.Drive_1.1.45_x64-setup.exe`) is a Telegram-based tool installer from a known tutorial source, and the 68 other vendors — including major engines — marked it clean. Telegram-related apps are frequently flagged by overzealous AV engines because malware has historically used Telegram’s API, making engines skittish about anything Telegram-related. **Bottom line:** Given that it’s only 3 low-confidence AI detections out of 71 with no named threat signature, you can safely proceed. ---
