Beautiful, performant self-hosted vault for uploading and sharing files
Safebucket
Open-source file sharing where files never touch your server
About Safebucket
Safebucket is an open-source file sharing platform in which uploads and downloads go directly between clients and S3-compatible storage through presigned URLs, so files never pass through your server. It brings SSO-first authentication via your own identity provider, bucket-scoped role-based access, audit logging and pluggable infrastructure components. It suits teams that need secure, self-hosted sharing on storage and identity systems they already control.
