Brief

UnlimCloud is a free, open-source desktop app (Tauri + Rust, MIT) that repurposes Telegram’s Saved Messages—which accept up to 2 GB per file and are not purged—as effectively unlimited cloud storage. Published 2026-06-11, the project offers uploads, downloads, folders, and a gallery, and is pitched against paid 2 TB plans (Google $100/yr, Dropbox $120/yr).

Source evidence

Google charges you $100/year for 2 TB. Dropbox charges $120.

Meanwhile, a developer on GitHub built a desktop app that gives you unlimited cloud storage. Price: $0.

It's called UnlimCloud. The trick is almost embarrassingly simple:

Telegram lets you upload files of up to 2 GB each, hosts them on its servers, and never asks you to delete anything. Your "Saved Messages" chat is, functionally, an infinite hard drive.

UnlimCloud just puts a real interface on top of it.

You log in with your Telegram ID. You get file upload, download, folder organization, and a gallery view for photos and videos. Built with Tauri and Rust, so the app itself is tiny and fast. MIT-licensed, fully open source, Windows build available today plus macOS and Linux coming.

UnlimCloud → Telegram-based storage, desktop app, open-source.

This is not officially affiliated with Telegram or Unlim Cloud.

But it shows something important:

Developers are now turning existing platforms into free infrastructure.

The cheapest cloud storage in the world was hiding inside a messaging app the whole time.
