Ask HN: Fileshare without dropbox etc.
1 point by fileshare on July 11, 2018 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
I often need to share files with wife at work, when she needs some help but dropbox etc is all blocked.

I have my own server (Wordpress etc) - what could I run to make this easy?

Ideally, I would like a webpage (username / password) that I can drag a file to and it creates a URL on my server that then when clicked on can share the file. Like a mini dropbox. Something really simple :)



Have you tried https://www.mirrorisland.com ?

It was made for a similar purpose when sharing files and photos from a mobile phone to multiple computers.

It doesn't need any installation and it's just a basic webpage with fast sign up and sign in.


An email sounds like it would do the trick.
