QuickDrop

QuickDrop is an easy-to-use file sharing application that allows users to upload files without an account, generate download links, and manage file availability, file encryption and optional password protection.

This project is made with the self-hosting community in mind as a self-hosted file-sharing application.

Features

• File Upload: Users can upload files without needing to create an account.
• Adjustable file size limit: The maximum file size can be ajusted in the settings.
• Download Links: Generate download links for easy sharing.
• File Management:
  • Manage file availability with options to keep files indefinitely or delete them.
  • Password-protected files can be updated (e.g. "kept indefinitely").
  • Add hidden files that are only accessible via their unique link.
• Password Protection: Optionally protect files with a password.
• File Encryption: Encrypt files to ensure privacy.
• Shareable Links: Share files with others via a unique link.
  • Generate secure shareable links that bypass app-level and file password protections.
  • Token-based access control with optional expiration times for shareable links.
• Whole app password protection: Optionally protect the entire app with a password.
• QR Code Generation: Generate QR codes for easy sharing.
• Admin Panel: Manage users, files, and settings.
