- OpenBoxLab Inc. releases RaiDrive for Linux following the global success of RaiDrive for Windows
- Compatible with various Linux distributions to enable a wide range of Linux users to utilize RaiDrive's powerful features
- CEO Chongho Kim: "We will provide innovative solutions that meet user needs"
SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- IT solution service company OpenBoxLab Inc. (CEO Chongho Kim) announced that on September 27, 2024, it officially launched RaiDrive for Linux. This allows users to experience RaiDrive's powerful features on various platforms, following the establishment of RaiDrive for Windows, released in 2017, as a global leader in cloud storage gateways.
To make the easy and powerful features of RaiDrive—such as support for major global cloud storage services, an intuitive interface, file locking for collaboration, local disk functionality useful for file sharing, floating licenses, and support for 35 languages—available on a wide range of Linux platforms, RaiDrive for Linux has ensured compatibility with various distributions. These include Debian-based distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, elementary OS, Linux Mint, MX Linux, Pop!_OS, Zorin OS, Raspberry Pi OS, etc.; RPM-based distributions such as Fedora, CentOS Stream, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Amazon Linux, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, openSUSE, SUSE Enterprise Linux (SLES), etc.; and APK-based distributions like Alpine. Detailed compatible Linux distributions can be found on the official RaiDrive website.
RaiDrive is cloud storage gateway software—a desktop application that allows users to use various remote storage services like a USB drive. By integrating major global cloud storage services with the local file system, it provides easy and convenient file accessibility and management efficiency, enabling users to open, edit, and save remote files directly without downloading them. Since its launch over eight years ago, RaiDrive has succeeded in becoming popular, being used in more than 200 countries worldwide, and has established itself as a global leading desktop application in this field.
Continuing the philosophy of contributing to enabling more users to conveniently use cloud storage, RaiDrive for Linux also offers a Standard Plan to meet the needs of individual users and small teams, through which up to eight mount points can be used for free.
In addition, it provides a File Lock feature that can be very useful in collaborative environments such as shared document work. This feature maintains a locked state so that other users cannot modify the file while one user is editing it, preventing data conflicts and loss, making it a very useful tool for teams working on shared documents. Particularly, its compatibility with office suites such as Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, and OpenOffice is considered an advantage.
OpenBoxLab CEO Chongho Kim stated, "RaiDrive for Linux is a solution developed by actively reflecting the needs of existing RaiDrive users, focusing on enhancing the remote file management experience of various cloud storage services by utilizing upgraded features. We will continue to advance our services and plan to expand so that RaiDrive's powerful features can be used on various platforms in the future. OpenBoxLab will continue to do its best to provide innovative solutions that meet user needs."
Meanwhile, RaiDrive for Linux can be downloaded from the official RaiDrive website, where detailed installation and usage guides are also available.

The Initiative Aims to Address the Pain Points of Family Filmmaking
BEIJING, Dec. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 6th, the 3rd FamilyLens International Film Festival opened in Beijing. SmallRig, a global specialized provider of imaging solutions, collaborating with FamilyLens, is empowering family filmmaking through various initiatives, including the Family Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative, a dedicated family filmmaking kit, and a social impact screening program.
Deepening the "Co-Creation Initiatives"
The Co-Creation Initiatives are a series of global creative initiatives open to filmmakers and image creators worldwide. Through deep collaboration across multiple dimensions — including product co-creation, discovery and promotion, and content co-creation — SmallRig aims to expand the boundaries of mobile filmmaking and bring the spirit of Free Your Dream to life with creators everywhere.
Following the launch of the Mobile Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative at the 14th International Smartphone Film Festival, SmallRig announced the launch of the Family Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative on December 6th at the 3rd FamilyLens International Film Festival. The initiative invites global creators and every family to participate, focusing on three core directions: product co-creation, work promotion, and content co-creation, to explore the possibilities of family filmmaking for everyone.
Mr. Zhou Yang, Founder and CEO of SmallRig, shared the inspiration for the initiative: "The initiative is rooted in the immense universality and profound emotional depth inherent in family narratives, which serve as a common emotional bond connecting global audiences. We firmly believe that in this era, where everyone can be a content creator, every family can and should film their own story. The instinct to create is deeply embedded in the human spirit, and every home is the origin of countless narratives."
Gu Xue, Founder and Director of the FamilyLens International Film Festival, stated: "We hope that people and practitioners around the world who care about family movies can find suitable solutions and gain insights from the Co-Creation Initiatives. We look forward to more and more people exploring the field of 'Home' together through this initiative."
To address the pain points of family filmmaking, SmallRig officially released the SmallRig Family Filmmaking Kit at the opening ceremony. The kit includes a high-quality microphone, fill light, and a portable tripod, specifically designed to achieve "professional function democratization" and "complex feature simplification." During the FamilyLens Workshop, attendees experienced the convenience of the equipment firsthand. Many expressed that the kit truly solves many problems, enabling ordinary families to complete necessary filming without specialized photography knowledge.
Social Impact Screening Program
The 3rd FamilyLens International Film Festival is open to the public from December 6th to 14th. The festival opened with the screening of well-received documentary: K-Family Affairs. In addition to the competition section, the festival features several distinctive sections, including the Reframing Home Movies— An Italian Retrospective, Youth Film Program, Filmmaker in Focus, and the Social Impact Program. Four major awards, such as the Real-Life Portrait Award and the Artistic Exploration Award, will also be presented.
As a key component of the Co-Creation Initiatives, the SmallRig Image Development Fund partnered with the FamilyLens International Film Festival to curate the "Social Impact Screening Program." This unit focuses on elevating awareness of critical issues within the family unit, advocating for a new reflection: "Starting with Seeing, Concluding with Understanding."
Arum Nam, Director of K-Family Affairs, stated:
"Starting with the stories of your family, your friends, and yourself, I believe this personal narrative can connect directly to the bigger society."
SmallRig believes that truly meaningful social impact storytelling stems from awareness in proximity—achieved by using the lens to penetrate the daily surface and enabling a deep, empathetic "Seeing with Empathy."
The four featured works in this unit are:
- People of the Ascent
- Granny's Lost and Found
- Ruixi at Fourteen
- No Country For My Maternal Grandma
These films highlight four family issues that require "seeing": the yearning of left-behind children, the mental isolation of Alzheimer's patients, the elderly searching for subjectivity in their drifting lives, and the emotional volatility and struggle of Bipolar Disorder.
Strategic Outlook and Future Expansion
SmallRig will continue to support the Family Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative's deep development through promotional campaigns and practical workshops focused on family movie scenarios.
The overall goal of SmallRig's Global Co-creation Initiative is to continuously explore and meet the growing, diverse needs of global creators across different vertical domains. SmallRig is committed to persistently expanding the co-creation model into more imaging sectors, collaborating with industry partners to push the boundaries of imaging and grant global creators broader creative freedom.
