FileRise

FileRise is a modern, lightweight web-based file manager you can run on your own server. It combines a fast file portal UI with granular per-folder access control, sharing, and WebDAV for mounting as a drive.

Key Features

• Granular per-folder ACLs (view, upload, create, edit, rename, move/copy, delete, extract, share) enforced across UI, API, and WebDAV
• Drag-and-drop uploads with chunked/resumable transfers, pause/resume, and progress tracking
• Optional folder-level encryption at rest with automatic disabling of incompatible features for safety
• WebDAV access (ACL-aware) for macOS/Windows/Linux drive mounts and common clients
• File sharing and shared uploads, plus Trash with retention for recovery
• Built-in previews and an in-browser editor for quick edits
• Tags and search for organizing and finding content
• Multi-user auth with optional TOTP 2FA and OIDC SSO (with optional auto-provisioning)
• Optional OnlyOffice integration for editing office documents with your own Document Server

Use Cases

• Personal or family “cloud drive” with permissions and easy sharing
• Team file portal with controlled uploads/downloads and WebDAV drive mapping
• Client-facing delivery and collection workflows using share links and upload-focused access

Limitations and Considerations

• When folder-level encryption is enabled, certain features (notably WebDAV and sharing) are intentionally disabled for compatibility and security.

FileRise aims to stay lightweight while providing enterprise-style permission control and practical usability features like resumable uploads and WebDAV. It is suitable for self-hosters who want a polished file portal without requiring an external database.
