What it does

FileGator lets you manage files on your server through a clean web interface. Upload, download, copy, move, rename, zip and edit files, with drag and drop and resumable uploads for large files.

Each user can get their own home folder and permissions, so it works for sharing files with a team or with clients.

Highlights

  • Upload, download, copy, move, rename and delete
  • Chunked, resumable uploads for big files
  • Zip and unzip archives
  • Multiple users with their own folders and permissions
  • Works with local disks and cloud storage adapters

Who it's for

Teams and freelancers who need a private place to share files.

FileGator - Powerful Multi-User File Manager

FileGator is a free, open-source, self-hosted web application for managing files and folders.

You can manage files inside your local repository folder (on your server's hard drive) or connect to other storage adapters (see below).

FileGator has multi-user support so you can have admins and other users managing files with different access permissions, roles and home folders.

All basic file operations are supported: copy, move, rename, edit, create, delete, preview, zip, unzip, download, upload.

If allowed, users can download multiple files or folders at once.

File upload supports drag&drop, progress bar, pause and resume. Upload is chunked so you should be able to upload large files regardless of your server configuration.
