Data Storage
Silex uses online "drives" (or cloud services) to store your files. This is a way to let you own your data, and it makes it possible to edit your website from anywhere without installing anything.
So when you want to open a website, save it, or insert an image, Silex will ask you the permission to access one of your accounts.
Among the online "drives", there is a very special one, Github. Initially Github is made for developers to collaborate on open source projects. But Silex make it easy for non-developers to use it. It has two great features for designers
Please note that Github is a company and there are conditions to accept when letting them host your data.
