Storage channels

Teldrive stores file payload parts in Telegram channels and keeps their mapping in PostgreSQL.

Automatic channels

telegram:
  auto-channel-create: true
  channel-name-prefix: teldrive
  channel-part-limit: 500000

Teldrive creates another channel when the active channel reaches the configured part limit.

UI

Open Settings → Storage channels to:

• create a channel;
• discover/sync channels;
• select the active channel;
• remove an unused channel.

A channel cannot be removed while files still reference it.

Changing the active channel affects new parts only; existing files stay mapped to their current channels.

channel-part-limit counts parts, not logical files.

Bots are added to storage channels through background jobs. See Telegram bots.
