File Browser is a self‑hosted web application that provides a graphical interface for managing files in a specified directory. It supports uploading, deleting, previewing, and editing files through a modern Material‑Design UI built with Vue.

Use cases

  • browse and manage files on a remote server via a web UI
  • upload and organize documents in a self‑hosted cloud storage solution
  • preview and edit text or media files directly in the browser
  • share files within a team without using third‑party cloud services
  • replace traditional FTP or SMB interfaces with a modern web interface

When to choose

  • you need a quick, self‑hosted file manager with a web UI
  • you prefer a single binary deployment on Linux, Windows, or macOS
  • you want a Material‑Design interface built with Vue
  • you are comfortable securing the service behind a reverse proxy

When to avoid

  • you require active security updates and long‑term maintenance
  • you need fine‑grained access control or robust authentication out of the box
  • you plan to expose the service directly to the internet without a proxy
  • you need advanced file‑system features like versioning or distributed storage
