Is there an app I can self-host that will let users upload stuff to my server? I need something where I can send a link to someone, and they can upload files & folders to my server (it doesn’t matter much to me where, as long as I can transfer them out to wherever I need later).
For example, I’m working to archive my parents’ family photos which right now live on a bunch of external HDDs. I need a way for my (non-technical) father to be able to upload a folder with potentially 10k plus files to my server. Because of his poor internet reliability, and the potentially large size, I need something that has resumability (so that if it fails, it can pick up where it left off and not re-start from scratch)
Security-wise, it would be nice to be able to only have uploads work when I send a link. Other than that, I’m not worried about malicious uploads or anything.
Does anyone have any recommendations for this? (Or, if nothing exists, would folks find this useful? I might end up making it if I can’t find it)
Oh, didn’t know that. Sadly I’m only on Mac & Linux
I believe it is able to do so on Windows because it uses the same system that OneDrive does, and is baked in to the OS. Not sure what the excuses are on MacOS and Linux.
But if you’re using Dolphin or Nautilus on Linux, does setting up a WebDAV network location not meet your needs?
That would work fine for linux, but the folks who need to upload stuff to me server can’t do that. They’re running Macos which doesn’t really support webdav well (and SMB is a mess too), plus they’re on an external network and I don’t want to have to get them on my VPN
