QuickShare is a cross-platform file sharing and file management service designed for quick transfers between devices. It provides a web interface for managing files and folders, with multi-user support and sharing options for both authenticated and anonymous access.

Key Features

  • Browser-based file and folder management (upload, download, create, delete, move)
  • Resumable uploads and downloads
  • Bulk uploads (hundreds of files at once)
  • Fuzzy search for files and folders
  • Directory sharing, including anonymous shares
  • QR-code scanning to open shared folders on other devices
  • Multi-user accounts with roles (admin/user)
  • Per-user home directories, storage quotas, and upload/download speed limits
  • Adaptive UI with internationalization support
  • Can run as a single binary or via Docker

Use Cases

  • Sharing files quickly across phones, laptops, and desktops on a local network
  • Providing temporary or anonymous folder shares for teams or guests
  • Hosting a simple personal file drop and download portal with user quotas

Limitations and Considerations

  • The project is under active development and may not guarantee full backward compatibility

QuickShare is a good fit when you want a straightforward, fast file-sharing portal with practical management features and basic user controls. Its resumable transfers, QR-based access, and cross-platform deployment options make it especially convenient for everyday device-to-device sharing.
