Gokapi is a lightweight, self-hosted file-sharing server written in Go, serving as a Firefox Send alternative where only registered users can upload and share expiring download links. It supports automatic file expiration, end-to-end encryption, deduplication, and optional S3-compatible cloud storage.
Use cases
- self-host a Firefox Send alternative for sharing files with expiring links
- share files that auto-delete after a number of downloads or days
- let external parties upload files to me via a private file request URL
- store shared files on AWS S3 or Backblaze B2 instead of local disk
- share files end-to-end encrypted under my own domain
- integrate file sharing with Keycloak or Authelia via OpenID Connect
When to choose
- you want self-hosted, privacy-friendly file sharing with expiring links and no public uploads
- you need lightweight deployment via Docker or a single Go binary
- you want S3/B2 backend support, deduplication, and E2E encryption in one tool
When to avoid
- you need a public file-upload service where anyone can upload without accounts
- you need heavy-duty transfer features like resumable chunked uploads for very large files
- you want a full cloud-drive UI with folders and file management
