What Uguu actually does
Uguu is a self-hosted web application designed for temporary file hosting. It allows users to upload files via a web interface and automatically purges them after a predefined period.
Best fit: It suits anyone needing a simple, ephemeral file-sharing drop-box for quick peer-to-peer transfers.
Worth knowing: The project shows low development activity, meaning you may need to patch security vulnerabilities or bugs yourself.
Deployment notes
Since it is built with PHP, you will typically need a standard web server like Nginx or Apache, along with a configured local storage directory for the uploaded files.
