Orb is a free and open source web desktop

My web-based desktop project just passed 250k users and it all started here at /r/programming. Thank you for everything!
Thank you so much for the kind words! If you're looking for a desktop environment WITH cloud filesystem the only one I know of at the moment is https://gitlab.com/hsleisink/orb. If you mean just the local desktop environment, there is a big list here.
