  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • ProjectSend

    ProjectSend is a free, open source software that lets you share files with your clients, focused on ease of use and privacy. It supports clients groups, system users roles, statistics, multiple languages, detailed logs... and much more!

  • I have spun up Gokapi - which works a treat. However it requires a login - so is great for files going the other way. Have also looked at Lufi [doesnt require a login for end user but no way to randomly generate link (that I know about?) - worried about being spammed to oblivion] and ProjectSend [total overkill for my needs, but very cool - also requires a login for end user]

  • send

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

  • I believe that you would be looking for something like Send which is a fork of Firefox Send after it was EOL. I run it myself and quite like it.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • PsiTransfer

    Simple open source self-hosted file sharing solution.

  • I used to use PsiTransfer but ended up switching to Send because I liked a few of its features and UI better. If you’re looking for a simple setup, PsiTransfer is easier to get going because it doesn’t require a separate Redis instance to be running as well.

  • Plik

    Plik is a temporary file upload system (Wetransfer like) in Go.

  • What about plik ? https://github.com/root-gg/plik

  • snapdrop

    A Progressive Web App for local file sharing

  • Filestash

    🦄 A modern web client for SFTP, S3, FTP, WebDAV, Git, Minio, LDAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, Mysql, Backblaze, ...

  • You can do this from the shared links in Filestash (Disclaimer: I made it). For the sake of giving an example, I'll pick the minio demo instance but it could as well be your local files or SFTP session or anything else you want.
