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.
• Supports Chunked Uploads for reliable file transfers.

File Management

• Manage file availability with options to keep files indefinitely or delete them.
• Add hidden files that are only accessible via their unique link.
• Password-protected files can be updated (e.g., "kept indefinitely").

Whole App Password Protection

• Protect the entire app with a password to restrict access.

Shareable Links

• Two types of share links managed through a single, streamlined modal:
  • Normal Links: Require passwords if the file or app is password-protected.
  • Token-Based (Unrestricted) Links: Single-use links with customizable expiration days. These bypass password requirements but provide controlled access.
  • QR Code Generation: Generates QR codes for easy sharing.

Password Protection

• Files can be protected with a password for added security.
• Password-protected files are encrypted to ensure privacy and secure storage.

Admin Panel

• Centralized management for files and settings.
• Adjustable file size limits and file lifetime configurations in the admin panel.
• Logs and activity tracking for enhanced oversight.
• Disable “View Files” : Turn off the built-in file listing page for enhanced privacy (removes the "hidden" files option as it removes the need for it).
