What Celeste is
Celeste is a graphical file synchronization client for Linux that connects to cloud providers. It supports two-way syncing and asks users how to resolve files changed both locally and remotely since the previous sync. Users can exclude files and folders and connect to multiple providers at once. The listed services are Dropbox, Google Drive, Nextcloud, ownCloud, pCloud, Proton Drive and WebDAV. Celeste is backed by rclone and built with Rust, GTK4 and Libadwaita. The project says it collects no user data and identifies its license as GPL-3.0. Its README lists Flatpak, Snap and Prebuilt-MPR installation methods; Prebuilt-MPR is described for Ubuntu 22.10 or later. The project lists Discord and Matrix rooms for assistance and discussion, with bugs and feature requests directed to its issue tracker. The repository is archived and read-only, and GitHub states it was archived on November 21, 2025. Celeste is free, with no usage limits stated, and has no mobile apps.

Who it suits
Celeste suits Linux users who want to synchronize files across multiple listed cloud services from a graphical client. It may be a poor fit for people who need mobile apps or an actively maintained repository.
Verdict
Celeste covers two-way synchronization across several cloud providers and offers multiple Linux installation methods. Its archived repository and lack of mobile apps are key limitations.
