There is a fork though: File Browser Quantum https://filebrowserquantum.com/
How does this compare to copyparty?
I wonder how viable it would be to do the opposite of quantum. If we remove every at risk feature and strip it down to the basics: no scripts, no multi-user, no public sharing etc...
Project could be pretty easy to maintain indefinitely?
I've tried to use quantum and it lost the "just works" factor that OG filebrowser has. Not sure what I'll do now
Really? I never tried the original but didn’t have much problems setting up quantum. I had to modify my caddy file somewhat to suite my needs, but just works now.
Did you make any modifications for large file uploads? My main problem was that big files (As in 5GB) would fail.
Thanks for that. I grinned at the pitch; 'It’s a no-compromise solution that’s a a quantum leap forward. Looking at the rest of the page, it does seem to have some bases covered with features. So, naturally, I'm going to have to check it out. Bookmarked.
