Open Source File Management Software
File Management software organizes, stores, and transfers digital documents and media across different storage locations. These tools provide interfaces to upload, delete, and preview files while supporting various network protocols for data movement. This type of software serves users who need to coordinate large libraries of documents or manage peer to peer transfers. Self-hosting these apps ensures that sensitive documents and private media remain on local hardware. This approach removes reliance on external hosting services for managing directory structures and file sharing workflows.
This page lists 42 open source tools in the File Management category. The most popular are copyparty, qBittorrent and Spacedrive. Most use the MIT or AGPL-3.0 license, and 32 offer an official Docker image.
