What Files Sharing actually does
Files Sharing is a self-hosted application designed for transferring files via unique and temporary URLs. It provides a straightforward interface for single-click and drag-and-drop uploads, allowing you to generate downloadable links without relying on third-party cloud services.
Best fit: It suits individuals or small teams who need a dedicated, lightweight tool to quickly send files to clients or colleagues through private links.
Worth knowing: Development activity is currently slowing down, and the project overlaps heavily with more mature file-sharing and cloud storage alternatives.
Deployment notes
Because it relies on PHP and Docker, you will typically need to configure persistent storage volumes for uploaded files and place the container behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
