Not Just A Folder — A Real Document Archive Built To Last

Papra is a focused document-management app for long-term archiving. It does one job properly: getting documents in, finding them again, and keeping them yours.

  • Upload From The Browser

    Drag documents straight into Papra from any device — no desktop sync client and no command line in the loop.

  • Organizations

    Keep personal, team and project archives cleanly separated, each with its own members and its own documents.

  • Tags That Scale

    Tag documents as they arrive so a growing archive stays navigable long after you've forgotten the filename.

  • Full-Text Search

    Search across the content of your archive, not just its file names, and find the one contract you actually need.

  • Custom Properties

    Attach your own structured fields to documents so invoices, contracts and receipts each carry the metadata they need.

  • Sharing Workflows

    Hand a document to a colleague or a client without exporting your archive to somebody else's cloud first.

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.
Dumitru Butucel
xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar Ahmed
Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍
Rahul Singh
So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.
Tony Lewis
I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowell
I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin Heinrichs
I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan Spinoza
Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

xCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

What is Papra?

Papra is a minimal, self-hosted document-management and long-term archiving application. It gives individuals and teams one focused place to upload, organize, tag, search and share documents, without handing the archive to a third-party cloud.

Do I need technical skills?

No. There is nothing to configure by hand and no terminal to open. You fill in a short site title and domain form, and we install and maintain everything for you.

How long does deployment take?

About five minutes. You create an account, choose a plan, and a healthy Papra login page is waiting at your own HTTPS domain.

How do organizations work?

An organization is a separate archive with its own members and documents. Use one per context — personal paperwork, a team's contracts, a single project — so nothing gets mixed together.

Can I find documents by their contents?

Yes. Papra indexes document contents for full-text search, so you can find a file by what's inside it rather than by remembering what you named it. Tags and custom properties narrow things down further.

Does my archive survive a restart?

Yes. Papra's complete application-data boundary is persistent — the QA run for this template created an account and a "QA Archive" organization, then confirmed both were still there and still authenticated after an xCloud Restart.

What's the difference between xCloud and DIY hosting?

DIY hosting on DigitalOcean, Contabo or Hostinger means an hour or more of Docker, storage and reverse-proxy setup, then owning every update, certificate renewal and backup yourself. On xCloud it's 5 minutes to a live archive, zero maintenance, automatic updates and backups, and 24/7 expert support.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time, and every plan is covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee.
