File Browser is a self‑hosted web application that provides a graphical interface for managing files in a specified directory. It supports uploading, deleting, previewing, and editing files through a modern Material‑Design UI built with Vue.
Use cases
- browse and manage files on a remote server via a web UI
- upload and organize documents in a self‑hosted cloud storage solution
- preview and edit text or media files directly in the browser
- share files within a team without using third‑party cloud services
- replace traditional FTP or SMB interfaces with a modern web interface
When to choose
- you need a quick, self‑hosted file manager with a web UI
- you prefer a single binary deployment on Linux, Windows, or macOS
- you want a Material‑Design interface built with Vue
- you are comfortable securing the service behind a reverse proxy
When to avoid
- you require active security updates and long‑term maintenance
- you need fine‑grained access control or robust authentication out of the box
- you plan to expose the service directly to the internet without a proxy
- you need advanced file‑system features like versioning or distributed storage
