Github Repo
PsiTransfer is a super straightforward self-hosted file sharing app: upload files, get a unique link, and optionally add retention limits and a password. I like it because it’s quick to deploy with Docker and it solves the “Drive/Dropbox is blocked” problem while keeping the data on my own server.
You'll be taken to Github to complete your purchase.
Pros
- +No account required for recipients—just a link
- +Supports retention periods including one-time downloads
- +Optional password protection for shared links
- +Easy to run via Docker on basically any distro
Cons
- -You need to manage hosting, DNS, and TLS yourself if you want a polished HTTPS setup
- -Default/example admin password needs to be changed (don’t leave it as "secret")
