XBackBone is a self-hosted, lightweight file and media sharing platform with first-class ShareX support. It provides a web UI, multi-user management, a versioned REST API, and pluggable storage backends (local, S3, FTP, SFTP).

Use cases

  • self-host a ShareX screenshot upload server
  • share files with short links and embeds
  • host a personal media gallery with multi-user support
  • upload screenshots from capture tools and get a link on clipboard
  • deduplicate file storage on my own server
  • replace imgur with a self-hosted file host

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight ShareX-compatible upload server you control
  • you need multi-user file sharing with quotas and roles
  • you want S3/FTP/SFTP storage backends behind a web UI

When to avoid

  • you need a full enterprise DAM or document management system
  • you cannot run PHP 8.4+ with a web server
  • you only need simple static file hosting without a UI
