Description: Chitralaya CloudGallery is a simple, open-source Android app that turns your Telegram account into private photo cloud storage—no signup, no servers, no tracking. Your photos go straight from your phone to your own Telegram chat, giving you free, practically unlimited backup space with full control over your data. It's not a company or a service—just an open-source tool made by a privacy-minded developer who believes your memories should stay yours. Transparency First I don't want you to blindly trust me either. Here’s how CloudGallery works: - Your bot token and chat ID are stored securely in the Android Keystore (AES encryption). - Your photos go directly to your Telegram account—no middle servers. - I don't track you, I don't log you, and I don't even know who uses this app. - The app is open source. You can read the code yourself. Now, let me be fully transparent about its limitations too: - The Bot API has quirks → it can't read your old messages without chat IDs. - That means if you reinstall the app fresh, you won't automatically see your past uploads. - To fix that, CloudGallery keeps a local JSON database of synced images. - This JSON file is also backed up to your Telegram, so you can re-import it on another phone. ⚠️ Warning: This database is plain text (readable JSON), not encrypted. If you leak it, others can read metadata. Keep it safe. That's your responsibility. ⚠️ Important: The database only stores metadata and image IDs—it does not contain the actual images. Can someone access your images with just the IDs? No, they would also need your bot token and chat ID. I'm being this honest because I believe trust starts with showing both the strengths and the flaws. Other Flaws - The app focuses on private backup and browsing, so it does not have advanced cloud features like folder hierarchy, sharing links, or multi-user support. - No in-app end-to-end encryption yet—images are uploaded as-is to Telegram. - No batch editing or deletion. - Only available on Android; you can still access your images by logging into your Telegram account on other devices. - The UI/UX is functional but not as polished or feature-rich as Google Photos, iCloud, or other commercial cloud apps. In short, CloudGallery is a privacy-first, direct backup tool to Telegram. It's not a full-featured cloud platform yet, but it gives you control over your photos and the ability to build on it with community support.
