What is Shareist?
Shareist is an open-source, self-hosted file sharing solution that allows users to easily share files and folders with others. It provides a simple web-based interface for uploading files via drag-and-drop, setting password protection and expiration dates, and generating sharable links that can be shared publicly or privately with specified recipients.
Some key features of Shareist include:
- Drag-and-drop file uploads for quick sharing
- User accounts and permissions management
- Options to password protect downloads or set expiration dates
- Sharable links for easy distribution of files via email or social media
- File versioning to track changes
- Customizable themes
- Mobile-friendly interface
As an open-source project, Shareist is free to download and install on your own server. It gives you full control over your data while providing a simple way to store and exchange files securely with colleagues, partners, or clients. The self-hosted model helps avoid the privacy and capacity limitations of some commercial cloud services.
