# What is this?

It started as a storage agnostic Dropbox-like file manager that works with every storage protocol: <a href="https://www.filestash.app/ftp-client.html">FTP</a>, <a href="https://www.filestash.app/ssh-file-transfer.html">SFTP</a>, <a href="https://www.filestash.app/s3-browser.html">S3</a>, <a href="https://www.filestash.app/smb-client.html">SMB</a>, <a href="https://www.filestash.app/webdav-client.html">WebDAV</a>, IPFS, and <a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/plugin/#storage">about 20 more</a>.


 It grew into what we want to be the world's best file management platform. Around the core engine sit 3 pillars: the web client, a <a href="https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/fdrive">native drive client</a>, and <a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/guide/storage-gateway.html">gateways</a> to expose storages over any protocol.


 The engine follows one rule: everything that's not a fundamental truth of the universe lives in a plugin. Where other platforms are take-it-or-leave-it, ours gives you a rock solid core and a plugin system to handle opinions, so however deep requirements go, the only limit won't be technical but your own creativity.

# Key Features

<ul>
 <li><a href="#vision--philosophy">Plugin Driven Architecture</a>: everything that matters is a plugin, browse the <a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/plugin/">ecosystem</a> or <a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/guide/plugin-development.html?origin=github">build your own</a>. With this approach, you get exactly what you need without overhead and bloat.</li>
 <li>Universal Access: the web client is just one way to access your data (albeit an awesome one, handcrafted in vanilla JS). <a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/api/#api">APIs</a> and <a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/guide/storage-gateway.html?origin=github">Gateways</a> let you also expose your data over protocols like <a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/guide/sftp-gateway.html?origin=github">SFTP</a>, S3, FTP, WebDAV, <a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/guide/mcp-gateway.html?origin=github">MCP</a>, and AS2.</li>
 <li><a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/plugin/#storage">Integrations</a>: our explicit goal is to support 100% of storage and authentication technologies on the market. Beyond your usual options, you can go much further, like a <a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/guide/virtual-filesystem.html?origin=github">virtual filesystem</a> delegating authentication to your <a href="https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/tree/master/server/plugin/plg_authenticate_wordpress">WordPress site</a> and using its roles to drive <a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/guide/authorization.html#option-2-rbac">RBAC authorization</a>.</li>
 <li><a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/guide/workflow-engine.html">Workflow Engine</a>: automate anything that happens to your files by chaining actions on events, from simple notifications via Slack or email to full on MFT pipelines and everything in between.</li>
 <li>File Apps: use any of the existing apps or <a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/guide/plugin-development.html#xdg-open-plugins-in-depth">build your own</a>, from astronomy to embroidery and everything in between like:
 <ul>
 <li><a href="https://demo.filestash.app/assets/plugin/application_photography.zip">photography</a>: heif, nef, raf, <a href="https://www.filestash.app/tools/tiff-viewer.html">tiff</a>, raw, arw, sr2, srf, nrw, cr2, crw, x3f, pef, rw2, orf, mrw, mdc, mef, mos, dcr, kdc, 3fr, erf and srw</li>

# Getting Started

To install Filestash, head to the [Getting started](https://www.filestash.app/docs/?origin=github) guide. If you want to leverage plugins, head over to the [inventory](https://www.filestash.app/docs/plugin/?origin=github), or learn about [developing your own plugins](https://www.filestash.app/docs/guide/plugin-development.html?origin=github).

If you want guidance and expert help on your file management problem, [book a call](https://www.filestash.app/tunnel/demo/?origin=github) and let's figure out if Filestash is the right platform for you.

# Vision & Philosophy

Our goal is simple: **to build the best file management platform ever made. Period.** But "best" means different things to different people, so we made everything pluggable. The core defines interfaces, plugins implement them. Disagree with our implementation? Write your own. Anything that isn't a fundamental truth of the universe and might spark a debate belongs in a plugin. Literally every piece listed in the key features is a plugin you can swap for another implementation or remove entirely.

Say you want to give your users a Dropbox like experience on top of your existing FTP server (remember the [FTP guy during the Dropbox launch on HN](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224)?). All the [FTP plugin](https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/tree/master/server/plugin/plg_backend_ftp) does is implement this interface:
```go
type IBackend interface {
	Ls(path string) ([]os.FileInfo, error)           // list files in a folder
	Stat(path string) (os.FileInfo, error)           // file stat
	Cat(path string) (io.ReadCloser, error)          // download a file
	Mkdir(path string) error                         // create a folder
	Rm(path string) error                            // remove something
	Mv(from string, to string) error                 // rename something
	Save(path string, file io.Reader) error          // save a file
	Touch(path string) error                         // create a file

// I have omitted 2 other methods, a first one to enable connections reuse and
	// another one to declare what should the login form be like.
}
```

There are interfaces you can implement for every key component of Filestash: from storage, to authentication, <a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/guide/authorization.html">authorisation</a>, custom apps, <a href="https://www.filestash.app/docs/guide/search.html">search</a>, thumbnailing, frontend patches, middleware, endpoint creation and a few others documented in the [plugin development guide](https://www.filestash.app/docs/guide/plugin-development.html).

To see what's currently installed in your instance, head over to [/about](https://demo.filestash.app/about). The inventory of plugins is [documented here](https://www.filestash.app/docs/plugin/)
