What is it?

FileRise is a self-hosted web file manager that runs as a single PHP application with no external database. It provides a browser UI for uploading, organizing, previewing and sharing files, and is deployed most commonly with the official Docker image or on a standard Linux PHP web server.

Access control is handled with per-folder ACLs covering view, upload, create, edit, rename, move, copy, delete, share and more, enforced consistently across the web UI, API and WebDAV. Uploads are chunked and resumable, folders can be shared via password-protected links or upload-only file requests, and optional folder-level encryption at rest uses libsodium. Login supports local accounts, TOTP 2FA and OIDC single sign-on.

Optional integrations include ONLYOFFICE for editing Office documents, ClamAV scanning on upload, FFmpeg video thumbnails, and WebDAV access from macOS, Windows, Linux and desktop clients. Certain features such as the Pro edition's extra storage backends and automation are described as paid add-ons; the core is MIT licensed.
