Introduction

Fileship is an open-source, self-hosted platform for your files, screenshots, notes and short links. You run it on your own server, upload from the browser, ShareX, the Windows app, the browser extension or your phone, and share links that you control.

What it does

• Files and folders: upload anything, organize it in nested folders, preview images, videos, PDFs, code and Markdown, and share folders with other people as viewers or editors. See Files and Folders.
• Sharing: every file has a link. Protect it with a password, an expiry or a view limit, and choose how it looks on Discord and other apps (Sharing options, Link previews).
• Notes and short links: Markdown notes and short links with click counts (Notes, Short links).
• Inbox: a page where anyone can send you files, without an account (Inbox).
• AI on your server: smart search in many languages, captions, OCR and sensitive content detection, with models that run on your own CPU (AI features).
• Accounts: users with permissions and storage limits, passkeys, two-factor authentication, single sign-on, invites and email (Users and permissions).
• Safety nets: a trash, account backups on a schedule and duplicate detection (Trash, Backups, Duplicates).
• Storage: your server's disk, S3-compatible storage, SFTP or FTP (Storage).
• Integrations: webhooks to Discord, Slack or your own service (Webhooks).
• 12 languages: English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Azerbaijani, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese.
