## What it is
Filestash is a self-hosted, storage-agnostic web-based file manager that connects to nearly any storage backend (FTP, SFTP, S3, SMB, WebDAV, NFS, IPFS, Dropbox, Azure, Git, and more) through a plugin-driven architecture. It also provides APIs and protocol gateways to expose underlying storages over SFTP, S3, FTP, WebDAV, MCP, and AS2.

## Use cases
- browse files on an s3 bucket from a browser
- give non-technical users a dropbox-like interface over ftp or sftp
- self-hosted file manager for multiple storage backends
- expose internal storage over sftp or webdav via a gateway
- secure file sharing with clients without giving storage credentials
- web client for smb or nfs shares
- document management and managed file transfer for a company
- delegate file access authentication to ldap or wordpress roles

## When to choose
- you need one web interface across many heterogeneous storage protocols
- you want a self-hosted, privacy-friendly alternative to Dropbox or Filezilla for non-experts
- you need to expose existing storage over different protocols (e.g., S3 behind SFTP)
- you require deep customization via plugins for auth, storage, or branding

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple desktop FTP client with no web deployment
- you need a fully open-source turnkey product without AGPL obligations or paid enterprise plugins
- you want a peer-to-peer sync tool like Syncthing rather than a server-based manager
