Sharry

Sharry is a self-hosted web application for securely sharing files via links and collecting files from others via “upload requests”. It is designed for lightweight, ad-hoc file exchange (send a link, set limits, receive files) while keeping control of storage and policies.

Key Features

• Share files via generated links with configurable expiration and limits
• Upload requests (“drop-offs”): create a link so others can upload files to you
• Optional password protection for shares/requests
• Configurable retention/cleanup behavior for expired items
• Web UI plus HTTP API for automation and integration
• Authentication options and admin configuration (deployment-dependent)

Use Cases

• Send large files to external partners with expiring links instead of email attachments
• Collect documents from clients/candidates through a controlled upload link
• Internal “temporary transfer” service for teams (ad-hoc exchange without syncing)

Limitations and Considerations

• Not a sync-and-collaboration drive (no real-time editing or folder sync)
• Feature set is intentionally focused on sharing/collection rather than full DAM

Sharry fits organizations that need a simple, controlled alternative to public file-transfer sites, with link-based sharing, inbound upload links, and policy-driven expiry/cleanup. It can be deployed as a small internal service or integrated via its API for automated workflows.
