Seafile VS SFTPGo

An alternative for file sharing: Seafile works for me quite well.

https://seafile.com

I personally avoided Seafile because of this. I guess it's up to each person to make their own judgement.

1.https://github.com/haiwen/seafile/issues/350 2. just wonder why we need to signup for the pro version, but free version, (not trying to be rude, would like to learn more about the logic behind it. and comment /tips is appreciated.

Seafile: Selfhosted Mega/Dropbox (I don't know why so many people use the overkilled Nextcloud for that)

It looks like that limit is hard coded

Seafile is a high-performance tool for syncing and sharing files. Features include markdown WYSIWYG editing, Wiki, file labeling, a drive client, privacy protection and more. Our thanks for the recommendation go to jcm4atx.

seafile or filerun are both pretty good options with mobile support.

Next is using a platform-agnostic sync utility such as Resilio, SyncThing, or SeaFile to sync to a designated OneDrive syncer Windows device (VM or some cheap laptop or smth). Personally, I prefer Resilio, but I've used SyncThing for a long while and they're fine if you're not going to also sync to phone (where you'd want selective sync which they don't have).

EDIT: Thanks for the recommendations from all of you!! I've chose to use the below: - Files: sftpgo - Calendar: baikal - Notes: memos (But beware, it sends opt-out telemetry) - Network folder: webdav on sftpgo

Give a try to SFTPGo

The worst thing is that all this FAANG or VC backed companies make a lot of people believe that they are the only viable way.

Actually not true, just an example, https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo. But there are plenty of them.

This is possible using SFTPGo. The default Windows installer register SFTPGo as a Windows service. You can download the portable version and run it manually or install SFTPGo from the Scoop packages. You can use the built-in SFTPGo virtual permissions to only allow uploads. SFTPGo uses virtual users, no system users are required.

I suggest contacting your SFTP server vendor. I guess they have an auto blocking policy like this

Basically it's a file storage managed over HTTPS. Nextcloud is pretty heavy, that's the reason why I using just a single statically compiled cross-platform binary SFTPgo

Using SFTPGo you can easily configure read-only accounts. SFTPGo uses virtual users and virtual permissions. So you don't need to create system users for your SFTPGo users and you don't need to use chmod to make folders read-only (but the system user that SFTPGo runs as needs file system level permission to access the files/folders you want to share)

SFTPGo provides SFTP, FTP/S and HTTP/S so you can share the same files using different protocols and thus meet the different needs of your business partners. Allowed protocols can be enabled/disabled per-user

You could check out SFTPGo, it may meet your needs.
