Its previous name was [Mediencenter](https://www.telekom.com/de/medien/medieninformationen/detail/mediencenter-wird-zu-magentacloud-351620). As the internal project title "Digital Life Storage" suggests, the idea was to provide storage for life, to upload all your files and share them with others. Features included [photo editing](https://dl.photoprism.org/assets/screenshots/mediencenter/photo_edit.png), ordering photo books, [sharing to other cloud services](https://dl.photoprism.org/assets/screenshots/mediencenter/photo_sharing.png), creating various types of playlists/albums, music/video streaming to devices from phones to set-top boxes, Solr-based search, a complete [Windows Explorer-like file manager](https://dl.photoprism.org/assets/screenshots/mediencenter/filemanager.jpg) incl drag & drop, and much more.
