Pingvin Share is a self-hosted file sharing platform and WeTransfer alternative built with Next.js and NestJS. It lets users share files via links with expiration dates, password protection, email recipients, and ClamAV scanning. Note: the project was archived in June 2025; a maintained fork (Pingvin Share X) is recommended.

Use cases

• self-hosted alternative to WeTransfer
• share large files with a link
• send files with expiration and password protection
• host a private file drop for friends or team
• share files with email recipients
• scan uploaded files for malware with ClamAV

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, self-hosted file sharing service
• you need password-protected or expiring share links
• you want OIDC/LDAP login and S3 or local storage backends
• you prefer the original project's UI and are okay pinning a version

When to avoid

• you need active maintenance or new features - the project is archived since June 2025
• you want ongoing security patches - consider the Pingvin Share X fork instead
• you need peer-to-peer or torrent-based file transfer
