PsiTransfer

PsiTransfer is a minimal web-based file sharing application designed for quickly sending files through a browser. It provides a simple upload-and-share workflow and can be run as a small standalone service (commonly via Docker) behind your own domain.

Key Features

• Web UI for uploading and sharing files via generated download links
• Optional one-time downloads (burn-after-reading style)
• Expiration options (time-based) for shared files/links
• Basic access protection options (e.g., password-protected downloads)
• Drag-and-drop uploads and multi-file support
• Docker-based deployment support for easy hosting

Use Cases

• Send large files to clients/teammates without email attachments
• Create short-lived links for sensitive documents (e.g., invoices, exports)
• Provide a simple “drop box” endpoint for ad-hoc file collection

Limitations and Considerations

• Focused on simple transfer/sharing; not a full sync-and-share platform (no folders, collaboration, or rich permissions)

PsiTransfer fits teams or individuals who want a straightforward web interface for temporary file distribution without the complexity of full document management or cloud drive products. It’s best used for ad-hoc transfers where simplicity and expiring/one-time links are more important than collaboration features.
