## What it is
droppy is a self-hosted file storage server with a responsive web interface for uploading, editing, and viewing files and media in the browser. It is lightweight enough to run on low-end hardware like a Raspberry Pi and ships with Docker images for multiple architectures.

- upload and manage files through a web interface
- edit text files in the browser
- view images and play videos and audio in a gallery
- share public download links for files

- download directories as zip archives

## When to choose
- you want a simple, lightweight self-hosted file server with a web UI
- you need media preview, text editing, and shareable links in one tool
- you are running on low-end hardware like a Raspberry Pi

## When to avoid
