File Browser is a self-hosted web application that provides a file managing interface over a specified directory, allowing upload, delete, preview, and editing of files through a browser. It was archived on 2026-09-01 and receives no further releases or security fixes.
Use cases
- manage files on my server through a web browser
- self-hosted alternative to google drive for my own files
- upload and edit files on a nas via web interface
- browse and share files from a directory over http
- simple web-based file manager for a vps
When to choose
- you need a simple web UI over a directory and can run it fully isolated behind a reverse proxy with its own auth
- you are forking the project or studying its Go/Vue codebase
When to avoid
- you need maintained software with security fixes - it is archived and unmaintained
- you plan to expose it directly to the internet
- you need the command runner/hooks feature, which has known unaddressed command-execution vulnerabilities
- you need revocable sessions - JWTs cannot be revoked and leaked tokens stay valid until expiry
