About:
Filebrowser is a self-hosted web file manager that provides a clean, modern interface for managing files and directories on a server. It allows users to upload, delete, preview, and rename files directly through a web browser without needing FTP or SSH. The tool is lightweight, easy to deploy via Docker, and supports user management and permissions for secure access.
Key Features:
  • Single binary deployment with no external dependencies
  • User management and permission controls
  • Modern web-based interface for file operations
  • Docker support for easy deployment
Use Cases:
  • Personal cloud storage alternative to services like Dropbox or Google Drive
  • Shared file management for development teams
  • Remote server file administration without command-line access
Alternatives:
  • Nextcloud – More feature-rich but heavier; Filebrowser is simpler and focused purely on file management
  • Apache Directory Listing – Basic static listing vs Filebrowser's interactive file operations
