Plik is a self-hosted temporary file upload and sharing system similar to WeTransfer, written in Go with a Vue 3 web UI and a powerful CLI client. It supports multiple storage and metadata backends, authentication providers, TTL-based auto-cleanup, one-shot downloads, stream mode, and end-to-end encryption with Age.
Use cases
- self-host a wetransfer alternative
- share temporary files with expiring links
- upload files from the command line
- send one-time download links that delete after first download
- share files with end-to-end encryption
- stream files between users without storing them
- integrate file uploads into an AI assistant via MCP
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, scalable temporary file sharing service
- you need CLI and web clients with interoperable E2E encryption
- you want flexible storage backends like S3, Swift, or GCS
- you need one-shot or TTL-expiring uploads with auto-cleanup
When to avoid
- you need permanent long-term file hosting
- you want a fully managed SaaS without running your own server
- you need peer-to-peer transfer without a server component
