Discover top open-source software, updated regularly with real-world adoption signals.

Secure client‑focused file sharing platform for self‑hosted environments
ProjectSend lets you create client accounts, assign files or groups, set expiration, receive notifications, and track activity, all with multilingual support and customizable themes.

ProjectSend is designed for agencies, freelancers, and small‑to‑medium businesses that need a private portal to share files with clients. It runs on any standard PHP web server, giving you full control over data storage and access.
Create individual client accounts or groups, assign files with granular permissions, and optionally allow clients to upload their own documents. Features include auto‑expiration of uploads, email notifications, detailed activity logs, themable UI, and support for dozens of languages.
Install the latest stable release from the official site, follow the step‑by‑step guide in the documentation, and run the provided npm/composer commands to compile assets. Once deployed, you can configure users, set security policies, and start sharing files securely.
When teams consider ProjectSend, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
