filemanager VS cloudcmd

File Browser

Thanks for sharing. I wasn't aware of dufs and it looks very solid. Fileserver[0] is another popular choice, though it's more GUI-oriented for file operations.

The OnlyOfffice desktop app is a pretty good and free alternative to Microsoft Office Suite. You can simply install it on your local machine for offline access.

OnlyOfffice is also self-hostable as a web app for a cloud alternative to Google Sheets.

Filebrowser is a self-hostable alternative to Google Drive.

There's a pull request open to integrate OnlyOffice with Filebrowser for self-hosted google-drive + google docs.

For strictly local use, Google's Nearby share is technically FOSS but the documentation is basically non-existent and a proper Linux implementation is not here yet. Alternatives aren't hard to find though, with Mint's Warpinator or KDE Connect having worked well for me.

For non-local use (everything out of Bluetooth range), you almost have to trust a third party and it really depends on your use case. Want to send your friend a file or host pictures of your birthday for multiple people to download? For the former magic wormhole works great, for the later you could almost spin up a nextcloud or similar (personally I like https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser ). Want to regularly send files from device 1 to device 2? Now classic sync solutions like syncthing become really viable.

If everything else fails, FTP always has your back

I have been looking for a file browser which can run in game mode and is reasonably user friendly for simple file operations (copy/delete/rename, etc). Most people recommend Dolphin. it does work but there are issues: the color scheme looks really weird in game mode. context menu does not like game mode, either. Got file browser working (https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser) in game mode, which essentially an Edge app accessing a web server on localhost (running as user service). It took some time to set up but the end result is exactly what I would like to have.

File Browser - For access to the files on my NAS

filebrowser has user management plus sharing capabilities

Filebrowser suppports multiple shares with different expiration dates. It also offers file previews and generates QR Codes for the shares.

NextCloud is great for this, but if we're talking sharing files from your sync'd project collection, I'd probably instead recommend Filebrowser. You can point it to the same data store that syncthing is using and it'll make it easy to share the projects. Note that in order to do this you'll need to open up and expose filebrowser publicly. The simplest way to do this would probably be a cloudflare tunnel and for sharing files like this ad-hoc I don't see any issues with their TOS. For things like SyncThing though you'll still wanna do conventional port forwarding. the DIY approach instead of CloudFlare tunnel would be to port forward, set up a dynamic dns record, and set up letsencrypt certs

I assume it is this one: https://cloudcmd.io/

Personally, and I can't name a tool for you, I consider that:

- files&folder taxonomies are limited. Sometimes a file should be in more than one place, there are links/symlinks but no "backlinks" so it's easy top break things and filenames are not much good for search. Essentially a path in a file&folder classic taxonomy is a kind of limited and limited query to reach some content;

- notes are another interesting things: ALL documents are kind of notes. The fact we have many file formats and apps just to craft document is more a limit and an issue of modern systems that a reasonable thing.

Given the above two consideration I decide for myself to org-attach almost anything. The complete setup is:

- org-roam, org-ql (with a semi-curated catalog to make queries and yasnippets to ensure consistency) and ripgrep as access layer, witch practically means hitting a single key on my keyboard and start typing something. In 99% of the case I get "the good answer" (something already done or new content to add), sometimes I need rg/recoll because just heading/tags search do not work and in that case I adjust/add some roam_aliases to easy mach the content in the future. Sometimes I need queries to work on things, like "check all active contracts" or "current issue" or "last three days notes" etc;

- org-attach and links and dired to craft small "secondary-level file hierarchies" as a storage management layers, something that hide my real home taxonomy (essentially just notes on one root, other files managed by org-attach under another in a cache-like tree) I access via links;

- various org-mode extras to link different kind of stuff I can't org-attach properly, like mails (individual messages, threads, search queries on my mails etc), transactions (hledger via org-babel), mere elisp:(sexp) code to be executed live on click.

Doing so allow me to IGNORE a limited and limited hierarchy, allow crafting dynamic hierarchies as results from SQL-alike (albeit limited and slow) queries, accessing most of the content in search&narrow style something proven to be effective in most kind of UI from search engines to "dashes" instead of "menus" etc and allow to blend a bit most kind of docs in a single "document"/page/live environment witch is VERY useful since we have a single mind, not really compartmentalized and we need different kind of "docs" together often.

This is IMVHO how we should manage files in 2022 BUT since Emacs and classic desktop model for commercial and ignorance reasons is essentially dead it's not something ready out-of-the-box and not something designed for collaboration. It's just a personal HYPER-effective solution that might wrap&hide far less effective one used by collaborators still allowing interaction.

The modern equivalent, far more limited, complex and heavyweight is a DMS (see Nuxeo, Alfresco, ...) mostly crappy WebUIs that wrap Apache Jackrabbit behind the scene and add some forms/tags/ways to classify documents in various "dynamic" and "less constrained" ways. With a bit of hesitation for a small team https://www.tagspaces.org is less crazy to setup and use. Othe simpler but probably too limited options are https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser or https://cloudcmd.io/ or https://filerun.com/ or https://www.seafile.com/ or https://tabbles.net/ some are proprietary and all are not much more than classic file browsers served via webapp on a file-server backend storage instead of a local one.

Cloud Commander - Web based remote file manager, while there are a handful of them it's the one I keep coming back to.

Fire up a Docker container of cloudcmd, map your volumes, and go nuts.

check out Cloudcommander (like MC but in a browser)

You should have a look at cloudcmd. It's a browser-based file manager with drag&drop which also offers an SSH shell/terminal emulation.

Cloudcmd - browser-based ssh terminal and file manager (read: byobu, screen, and all the other terminal apps like taskbook, now count as being 'self-hosted') - - there are a few browser-based RDP programs like Apache Guacamole Server, but I haven't tried them (yet).

Cloudcmd?
