Firefiles

Firefiles is a self-hosted file manager that sits on top of your existing cloud storage. Instead of paying for a service like Dropbox to hold your files, you connect your own storage buckets and manage everything through a modern browser interface. Your data stays wherever you put it.

The core idea is simple: you bring the storage, Firefiles brings the interface. It currently supports AWS S3 buckets as backends, letting you treat them as cloud drives you can browse, upload to, and download from without touching the AWS console.

Key capabilities include:

• Multi-drive dashboard to manage several storage buckets side by side, all from one place
• Browser-based file previews so you can view files without downloading them first
• Bulk uploads and single-click downloads for moving files quickly
• Light and dark themes that you can switch between at will
• Fully open-source codebase on GitHub, so you can inspect or modify anything

Firefiles fits individuals or small teams who already use S3-compatible cloud storage and want a cleaner way to interact with it. If you've been relying on the AWS console or a tool like Filestash and want something more polished and purpose-built, Firefiles is worth a look.

Because you own the backend, there's no storage cap imposed by the app itself. Your limits are whatever your chosen cloud provider allows. Privacy is a genuine advantage here: no third-party service holds your files or has access to your data.
