FileRun
FileRun is a self-hosted file-sharing application for teams that want files and metadata to stay on their own server. Files remain in ordinary folders rather than being stored in FileRun’s database. It runs on Linux or Windows servers, including Docker, virtual machines, and bare metal, and requires PHP and MySQL. Users can share with individuals, groups, or guests, assign access through seven roles, and set passwords, expiry dates, and download limits for public links. FileRun offers two-way desktop sync for Windows, macOS, and Linux, mobile apps for iOS and Android, WebDAV, and a REST API. Documents can be edited collaboratively through services including ONLYOFFICE, Collabora, LibreOffice Online, Google, Zoho, and Microsoft 365. Search can index document contents with Elasticsearch and Apache Tika, and OCR can read scanned PDFs and document photos. Business plans are listed at €9.90/user/yr. There is no free plan, but business users can request a free trial license for their own installation.
