  1. PairDrop

    PairDrop: Transfer Files Cross-Platform. No Setup, No Signup.

    Been running a selfhosted PairDrop instance for about a year now and it's amazingly useful. No apps to install, just web based "AirDrop" that works across macOS, Windows, iOS, Linux...

  3. YouTransfer

    The simple but elegant self-hosted file transfer & sharing solution

  4. PsiTransfer

    Simple open source self-hosted file sharing solution.

    We use PsiTransfer in docker. Not as abandonware as the ones you probably looked at and serves our needs.

  5. picoshare

    A minimalist, easy-to-host service for sharing images and other files

    It's a couple of years old now and still maintained. Also, it's very simple and allows for guests too.

    https://github.com/mtlynch/picoshare

  6. IFS

    Internet File Store - Small scale private upload service

    I built something similar in ASP.NET: https://github.com/Sebazzz/IFS

  7. sharedrop

    Easy P2P file transfer powered by WebRTC - inspired by Apple AirDrop

  8. sfup

    Discontinued A transfer service for commandline usage

    https://github.com/proofrock/sfup a possible alternative, if you need upload/download via commandline (curl).

  9. Nutrient

    Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers. Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs.

  10. send

    :mailbox_with_mail: Simple, private file sharing. Mirror of https://gitlab.com/timvisee/send (by timvisee)

    I've been using Send, which I really like: https://github.com/timvisee/send

  11. uploadserver

    Python's http.server extended to include a file upload page

    I use `python -m http.server` on the sender side, and https://github.com/Densaugeo/uploadserver on the receiver side if Python or the network is problematic to setup on the sender. This is simple and works well for my use cases, since I don't have a need for those features you mention. The only feature I miss is encryption, which could be done via an SSH tunnel with a bit more work, but I usually don't bother if I'm on my home LAN.

  12. localsend

    An open-source cross-platform alternative to AirDrop

    It works like a charm, and is really easy to use

    https://github.com/localsend/localsend

  13. go-piping-server

    Piping Server written in Go language (original: https://github.com/nwtgck/piping-server)

    Another alternative. This uses only HTTP and requires no special software, except the server. Elegant, IMHO. Extremely robust in fact.

    https://github.com/nwtgck/go-piping-server

    After starting the server, a few options.

    Method 1: Visit https://127.0.0.1:1080 in a Javascript-enabled browser and fill out HTML form

    Method 2: Visit https://127.0.0.1:1080/noscript in any browser and fill out HTML form

    Method 3: Use any TCP client, TLS client, HTTP client or HTTPS client. For example here is a quick and dirty shell script

           #!/bin/sh
