  Hey, check out Filebrowser. It's this cool open-source tool I found. You just drag files onto a webpage to upload them, and you can manage everything right there. Super easy to use and totally free. Worth a look if you need to organize files online.

  I've used https://filebrowser.org/ and it's okay. I've also Seafile, but my current setup is sftp clients (Transmit nowadays) and Syncthing if I need the files on multiple computers.

• h5ai – modern HTTP web server index

  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.

• Ask HN: Spreadsheets like Google Sheets but not from Google?
  5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Jan 2024

  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.

• Ask HN: What is the best FOSS file sharing protocol/app?
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Jan 2024

  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

• Finally a decent file browser in Game mode
  1 project | /r/SteamDeck | 8 Dec 2023

  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.
