File Browser

Single-binary web file manager for any folder on your server

File Browser gives you a clean web UI over any directory: upload, download, preview, edit and share, with per-user permissions and scoped root folders. It is one binary, starts in seconds, and does not try to be a platform.

It is not a sync tool and not a collaboration suite — it is the missing web file manager for a server you already have. That modesty is exactly why it ends up on so many homelab boxes.

Ideal as a lightweight front end to a NAS share or a quick way to hand files to less technical users.
