About:
Openlist is a community-driven fork of the popular AList file management program, created to address concerns regarding the original project's governance and potential anti-trust issues. It provides a secure, self-hosted platform for managing files across various storage providers with a focus on transparency and open development. The tool enables users to maintain control over their data without relying on potentially restrictive upstream dependencies.

Key Features:

Multi-storage backend support (S3, local, WebDAV, etc.)
Web-based file management interface
Forked from AList to ensure open governance
Self-hosted and privacy-focused

Use Cases:

Centralized access to files across multiple cloud storage services
Self-hosted alternative to proprietary file managers
Secure file sharing and collaboration

Alternatives:

AList – Original upstream project; Openlist addresses governance concerns while maintaining similar functionality
Nextcloud – More comprehensive suite including calendar, contacts; Openlist is lighter and focused purely on file management
