Chibisafe is a modern file vault and uploading service designed to store files, photos, documents, and more, then share them via direct links. It focuses on performance with a robust API and chunked uploads to handle large files reliably.

Key Features

  • Chunked uploads for large files to reduce failures on unstable connections
  • Shareable direct links for uploaded files
  • Albums/folders with share links
  • Snippets/gists with direct links
  • File management features including tagging
  • User accounts, invite-only mode, quotas, and API keys for programmatic uploads
  • Built-in URL shortener
  • Admin dashboard to manage instance configuration (limits, rate limiting, allowed extensions, metadata)
  • Integrations such as ShareX support, browser extension, and iOS shortcut
  • Optional S3-compatible storage support

Use Cases

  • Personal or team file drop for sharing screenshots, recordings, and documents
  • Private media vault with folders/albums and lightweight file organization
  • Programmatic uploads from scripts and tools using API keys

Chibisafe provides a polished UI and practical integrations while remaining flexible for public or controlled-access deployments. It is well-suited for anyone who wants an efficient, link-based alternative to hosted file sharing services.
