Is PsiTransfer actively maintained?
PsiTransfer logged 24 commits over the last 11 months, but none in the most recent quarter. Development has paused rather than stopped outright — worth watching before a production deployment.
The most recent tagged release, v2.4.4, is about 4 months old.
PsiTransfer ranks #20 of 33 in File Transfer - Single-click & Drag-n-drop Upload, placing it mid-table for maintenance activity.
What PsiTransfer actually does
PsiTransfer is a self-hosted web application for sharing files directly from your server. It provides a straightforward interface that supports upload and download resumption alongside optional password protection.
Best fit: It suits anyone needing a lightweight, self-hosted drop-zone for transferring files to external users without setting up a full cloud storage suite.
Worth knowing: Development activity is slowing, and the project faces strong competition from more actively maintained file-sharing platforms.
Deployment notes
As a Node.js application, it typically requires a reverse proxy like Nginx or Caddy to handle TLS termination and persistent storage mounted for uploaded files.
