KodExplorer (and its successor kodbox) is a PHP-based, self-hosted web file manager with a Windows-like interface that also functions as a browser-based code editor/IDE. It supports file operations, sharing, multi-user permissions, online preview/editing of many formats, WebDAV, and enterprise collaboration features.
Use cases
- self-host a private cloud file manager in the browser
- manage files on a remote server via a web UI
- edit code and markdown directly in the browser
- share files and folders with password-protected links
- preview and edit office documents online
- set up an enterprise network drive with granular permissions
- mount and manage files across clouds via WebDAV or S3
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, Windows-like web file manager on a PHP/LAMP stack
- you need multi-user file sharing with fine-grained permission controls
- you want browser-based editing and preview of many file formats without installing software
When to avoid
- you need a modern actively developed codebase - KodExplorer is in maintenance mode and kodbox is the recommended successor
- you need a lightweight single-user file browser rather than a full collaboration platform
- your stack cannot run PHP
