## What it is
Chibisafe is a self-hosted file uploader and vault service written in TypeScript that accepts any file type and returns shareable links. It supports chunked uploads, S3 storage, albums, snippets, a URL shortener, user quotas, and a web dashboard for full instance configuration.

## Use cases
- self-host a file sharing service
- upload screenshots quickly with ShareX
- share large files with chunked uploads
- host a pomf-style file host
- manage uploaded files in albums and folders
- share text snippets with direct links
- upload files from mobile via iOS share menu

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted alternative to commercial file hosts
- you need chunked uploads for large files
- you want an admin dashboard to configure limits and quotas
- you need S3 storage backend support
- you want ShareX and browser extension integration out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need enterprise-grade compliance or audit features
- you want a simple static file server without accounts or uploads
- you cannot run Node.js or Docker infrastructure
