About PsiTransfer

PsiTransfer is an open-source file sharing application that you host on your own server. It is meant as an alternative to paid services such as WeTransfer and Dropbox transfers. Uploads can be resumed, and download links can be set to expire.

It does not use accounts or logins, and the interface works on mobile devices. It is a Node.js application and ships with a Dockerfile. It suits individuals and small teams who want a private, low-maintenance way to send files.

Strengths

  • No accounts or logins
  • Resumable uploads and expiring links
  • Mobile-friendly interface
  • Docker support

Limitations

  • Requires your own server to run
