Open source alternative to:
BluFiles is a self-hosted file management and sharing platform with a modern web interface and REST API. It supports file sharing with link-based access, text pastes with syntax highlighting, and collections for organizing and sharing grouped items.
The platform includes a web-based admin panel for managing users and storage quotas, making it easy to run as a private or small-team file sharing service. It also supports ShareX integration for quick uploads directly from the desktop.
Deployed via Docker Compose with PostgreSQL, BluFiles is straightforward to self-host and serves as a privacy-respecting alternative to WeTransfer and similar services.
