ProjectSend

Open-source client portal for private file sharing

About ProjectSend

ProjectSend is a self-hosted, open-source client portal for sharing files privately with specific clients, partners and teams from your own server. You upload files, assign them to client accounts or groups, and control access with roles, download limits, storage quotas and automatic expiration, while clients can upload files back when you allow it. It adds two-factor authentication, LDAP and single sign-on, a REST API, branded portals and a complete activity trail, without per-user fees or platform lock-in.
