See TeleNest in action
A preview of the app interface — folders, files and vault, right on your phone.
A real drive, not a chat window
TeleNest organises your Telegram cloud like Google Drive or MEGA — folders, search, previews and background transfers — while the files themselves stay in your own Telegram account.
Drive-style folders
Grid and list views, folders inside folders to any depth, a 24-colour folder palette, live file counts and sizes — and you can pin a folder straight to your home screen.
Big files, no problem
Everything uploads in original, uncompressed quality. Files larger than Telegram's 2 GB per-message limit are split into chunks on upload and merged back on download, automatically.
Secure Vault encryption
Sensitive folders are encrypted on your phone — AES-256-GCM / XChaCha20 with Argon2 key derivation — before anything leaves the device, and unlock with your fingerprint or face.
Background transfers & auto-backup
A foreground transfer service keeps multi-file uploads and downloads running with byte-accurate progress, and chosen folders like DCIM/Camera can back up new photos automatically.
Built-in viewers
Stream videos, zoom into photos, and read PDFs and text or code files without leaving the app. Filter any view by photos, videos, audio, documents or apps.
11 languages
English, বাংলা (Bengali), हिन्दी, اردو, العربية, 中文, Español, Français, Português, Русский and Deutsch — switch any time in Settings → Language.
