WillShare: Free Cloud Storage

Free and open-source cloud storage alternative to Dropbox, with file syncing, sharing, user management, and versioning on your own hardware or virtual private servers.

What is WillShare?

WillShare is an open-source file hosting and sharing platform that allows individuals and organizations to run their own private cloud storage server. It provides functionality similar to mainstream cloud services like Dropbox or Google Drive, but with the key benefit that your data stays under your control rather than on someone else's servers.

Some of the key features and capabilities of WillShare include:

• File syncing - Sync folders on your devices to the WillShare server so your latest files are always accessible from any internet-connected device.
• Sharing - Share files and folders with other WillShare users or generate public share links to let anyone access files.
• User management - Create and manage multiple user accounts with configurable permission levels to control access.
• Version history - Restore previous versions of files from the version history in case you need to roll back changes.
• Mobile apps - Android and iOS apps allow accessing and managing your WillShare server on the go.
• On-premise hosting - You host the platform on your own server or VPS rather than relying on a third-party service, so you retain control.
• Security - Utilizes end-to-end encryption to protect your data in transit and at rest.

By self-hosting WillShare, you avoid monthly fees for commercial storage services while still getting useful functionality. This makes it a great free Dropbox alternative for personal use or for organizations seeking secure and affordable file sharing.
