Open source web file system?
I'm working on a small project and am looking for an open-source, flexible file-upload/manager. It would preferably come with an interface out of the box that can be highly customized, and connect to my backend. It would be accessible by the user, and they could upload their own files. Is there such a thing?
- jcr 14y agoAre you trying to build something similar to DropBox [1] or Box.com [2] ? There is a comparison of the two services on ibtimes today [3]. Colin Percival (hn:cpercival) has a similar service called tarsnap [4], and at least some of his source code is open source, possibly all of it (I'm not sure).

- tommaxwell 14y agoYes I'm trying to build something similar, but it will just be one small feature of a larger side project I'm working on.
- JoachimSchipper 14y agoThe tarsnap client is not open source, as hinted at on https://www.tarsnap.com/legal.html https://www.tarsnap.com/legal.html. Some server-side stuff - like the kivaloo key-value store - is, but that doesn't seem to be what OP is looking for.

- mergy 14y agoI have run OpenUpload for years. It is a lot like a YouSendIt system. http://openupload.sourceforge.net/ http://openupload.sourceforge.net/
