Custom Email & File Storage System on Cloudflare (Google Workspace Alternative)

Paying $6–12 per user, every month for Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 — just for email and file storage? I build you a private email + file storage system on your own domain, hosted on Cloudflare Workers, that you own outright.

Create unlimited mailboxes across one or many domains, send and receive email on your own addresses (e.g. you@yourbrand.com), and store & share files in a clean, Google-Drive-style interface — all running on your own Cloudflare account for a flat ~$5/month, no matter how many inboxes or users.

How it's built

• Next.js webmail + file UI — a modern inbox and a Drive-like file manager
• Cloudflare Email Routing receives mail for your domain(s)
• Cloudflare D1 stores messages, folders, and metadata
• Cloudflare R2 stores attachments and your uploaded files
• Custom domains — single domain, or unlimited domains if you run your DNS on Cloudflare

What you get

• A working email + file suite on your brand's domain
• Unlimited mailboxes and aliases — no per-user pricing, ever
• Send & receive, folders, search, and attachments
• A file storage & sharing area like a private Google Drive
• Deployed to your Cloudflare account — you own the data and the code

Pay me once to build it. Pay Cloudflare a flat ~$5/month. Stop paying per seat forever.

How I work

1. Plan your setup — your domain(s), how many inboxes, and storage needs.
2. Configure Cloudflare — Email Routing, D1, R2, and Workers on your account.
3. Build & deploy — the Next.js webmail + file UI, wired to your infrastructure.
4. Connect your domains — DNS, MX, SPF/DKIM so mail sends and arrives reliably.
5. Hand over & train — it's yours, with docs and a walkthrough for adding mailboxes.

Why clients trust me

• 12+ years shipping to production — not tutorials, real products used by real people.
• Proof, not promises — I've built ReviewX (10,000+ active users), a WooCommerce reviews SaaS on Laravel, and open-source WordPress tools with 5,000+ installs.
• Clear communication — you get regular updates, honest timelines, and a developer who actually replies.
• Clean, documented, maintainable code — so you (or your next developer) are never stuck.
• AI-accelerated delivery — I use agentic AI coding to compress what used to take months into weeks, without cutting corners on quality.

• No per-seat fees — add unlimited mailboxes without your bill going up.
• You own your data — it lives in your Cloudflare account, not a third party's.
• One flat cost — ~$5/month to Cloudflare, not $6–12 per user per month.
• Your brand — every address is you@yourdomain.com, on infrastructure you control.
• Private & portable — full source code, no vendor lock-in.

This isn't theoretical — I've built a Cloudflare-native email inbox and file system (the same stack: Workers, Email Routing, D1, and R2). You're getting a productized version of infrastructure I've already engineered and run, tailored to your domains.
