## About

FileBrowser Quantum provides an easy way to access and manage your files from the web. It has a modern responsive interface that has many advanced features to manage users, access, sharing, and file preview and editing.

This version is called "Quantum" because it packs tons of advanced features into a tiny and easy-to-run file. Unlike the majority of alternative options, FileBrowser Quantum is simple to install and easy to configure.

The goal for this repo is to become the best open-source self-hosted file browsing application that exists -- **all for free**. This repo will always be free and open-source.

Ready to try it out? See [Getting Started Docs](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/getting-started/).

## How its different

FileBrowser Quantum is a massive fork of the file browser open-source project with the following changes:

1. ✅ Better source configuration - multiple sources, include/exclude rules, and [more](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/configuration/sources/)
  2. ✅ Login support for OIDC, LDAP, JWT, password + 2FA, and proxy.
  3. ✅ Beautiful, Responsive, and Customizable user interface.
  4. ✅ Streamlined configuration via `config.yaml` config file.
  5. ✅ Efficient search
     - Real-time search results as you type.
     - Real-time monitoring and updates in the UI.
     - Search supports file and folder sizes, along with various filters.
  6. ✅ Better listing browsing
     - Thumbnails support includes **office**, **video**, and **album artwork**, and **3D models**.
     - Faster and more responsive views with animations.
     - **Folder sizes** are displayed and support thumbnails
     - Navigating remembers the last scroll position.
     - WebDAV support
     - Granular permissions
  7. ✅ Highly configurable and [customizable sharing options](https://filebrowserquantum.com/en/docs/shares/options/)
     - share expiration time
     - users who can access share (including anonymous)
     - styling and themes
     - file viewing, editing, and uploading permissions
  8. ✅ Access control that can be scoped to user or group and source path.
  9. ✅ Developer API support
     - Ability to create long-lived API Tokens.
     - A helpful Swagger page is available at `/swagger` endpoint for API enabled users.

Notable features that this fork *does not* have (removed):
 - ❌ shell commands are completely removed and will not be returned.

FileBrowser Quantum differs significantly from the original version. Many of these changes required a significant overhaul. Creating a fork was a necessary process to make the program better. There have been many growing pains, but a stable release is planned and coming soon.

## The UI

The UI has a simple three-component navigation system:

1. (Left) Multi-action button with slide-out panel.
  2. (Middle) The powerful search bar / title
  3. (Right) The view change toggle / overflow menu

All other functions are moved either into the action menu or pop-up menus.
If the action does not depend on context, it will exist in the slide-out
action panel. If the action is available based on context, it will show up as
a pop-up menu.
