## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: file-upload, http-server, auth, api-framework, image-processing
- domain: self-hosted, files, web-development
- platform: self-hosted, php
