## What it is
FileBrowser Quantum is a self-hosted web-based file manager written in Go, forked from the filebrowser project with advanced features like multiple sources, OIDC/LDAP/JWT authentication, and real-time search. It serves a responsive web UI for browsing, previewing, editing, and sharing files.

## Use cases
- manage files on my server through a web browser
- self-hosted file manager with user accounts and sharing
- browse and preview files over the web with thumbnails
- web-based file browser with OIDC or LDAP login
- share files with links from my own storage
- edit text files remotely via a web interface

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, single-binary self-hosted file manager
- you need multiple storage sources with include/exclude rules
- you need enterprise auth (OIDC, LDAP, JWT, proxy) with 2FA
- you want fast real-time search and rich thumbnails (video, office, 3D)

## When to avoid
- you need full desktop file manager features like drag-and-drop OS integration
- you want a cloud-sync solution like Nextcloud with calendars and contacts
- you need distributed or multi-node file storage
