## What it is
PsiTransfer is a self-hosted, open-source file sharing web application built with Node.js and Vue, serving as an alternative to services like WeTransfer or Dropbox. It supports resumable uploads and downloads, expiring upload buckets, one-time downloads, AES password-protected download lists, and zip/tar.gz archive downloads.

## Use cases
- self-host a wetransfer alternative
- share large files without accounts
- send files with expiring download links
- host a private file drop with password-protected downloads
- run a one-time download file sharing server
- resumable uploads for big files

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, no-account file sharing service you control
- you need resumable uploads/downloads for large files
- you want Docker-based quick deployment
- you need expiring or one-time download links

## When to avoid
- you need cloud sync or persistent storage like Dropbox
- you require multi-user account management
- you need end-to-end encrypted file sharing by default
- you want a managed SaaS solution
