Hello, i am looking for a self hosted application for sharing files like with wetransfer. I have tried the discontinued Firefox Send which has nice features like link expiry and works great in general but lacks authentication (only offers simple password protection). I also want the option to share with registered users. Is there anything similar out there? Thanks

    You can selfhost Bitwarden/Vaultwarden (which I recommend, since it’s rewritten in Rust and you get all the premium features for free) and use Bitwarden Send. This is probably more secure than most other options.

      Though for the actual password selfhosting part of it, that is too much for my blood. Much higher chance that I would seriously fuck something up and lose access to hundreds of services than the remote bitwarden server gets compromised or becomes too shitty to use.

        You can continue using the cloud hosted version of Bitwarden and only use your own instance for file sharing.

          Or pay the astoundingly low $10/yr for Premium and use Send on the cloud servers.

            Sure, I’ve been a premium customer for years because I find the service very useful, but this community is all about selfhosting.

              True enough, but I like to slide in an ad in for Bitwarden every once in a while. I don’t think my $10 alone is going to keep them afloat :)
