Product Development
A Self-Hosted Document Management System
Built a lightweight, self-hosted document storage and sharing tool as an alternative to relying on third-party cloud storage.
01
The Challenge
Storing and sharing documents through third-party cloud platforms means trusting an outside company with file access and control. A simple, self-hosted alternative was needed for organizing and sharing files without that dependency.
02
The Approach
1
Built upload support for any file type, with folders for structured organization.
2
Implemented instant public link generation for any uploaded file, so documents can be shared without exposing the whole system.
3
Built a centralized dashboard for browsing and managing the full document library.
03
The Outcome
A production, self-hosted document management tool that removes dependency on third-party file storage while keeping sharing just as simple.
