Uguu
Lightweight temporary file hosting with web UI and upload API
Uguu is a simple, lightweight file hosting service focused on fast temporary uploads and sharing. It provides a minimal web interface for quick uploads and an API for automation, and can also be configured for more permanent hosting.
Key Features
- One-click uploads with no registration required
- Drag-and-drop and clipboard paste uploads in a modern, minimal web UI
- Upload API with multiple response formats (JSON, HTML, text, CSV)
- Compatibility with screenshot tools such as ShareX
- File extension and MIME type allow/deny listing
- Upload rate limiting and file hash blacklisting
- Works with common deployments (for example Nginx with PHP)
Use Cases
- Temporary sharing of files via short-lived links
- Automated uploads from scripts or tools using the HTTP API
- Personal or team upload endpoint for screenshots and quick file transfers
Limitations and Considerations
- Instances are often configured with file expiry/retention rules, which may not suit long-term storage without customization
Uguu is a practical choice when you need a small, straightforward upload service that is easy to deploy and operate. Its combination of a simple UI and a flexible API makes it suitable for both manual and automated workflows.
