What is it?

Quickshare is a self-hosted file sharing application for moving files between different devices through a web browser. It is built with Go on the backend and React with TypeScript on the frontend, and runs on Linux, macOS and Windows.

Beyond basic upload and download, it offers file and folder management in the browser, fuzzy search across files, resumable transfers, and the ability to share directories with others, including anonymous visitors who can open a share through a QR code. Uploads are streamed so the service can sit behind a CDN or reverse proxy.

For teams or households, it supports multiple users with admin and user roles, per-user home directories, per-user bandwidth limits and storage quotas. It can be started with Docker, from source with Yarn, or from a prebuilt executable, and files can also be accessed directly from the operating system.
