droppy

droppy is a self-hosted file storage server with a web interface for editing files and viewing media directly in the browser. Current stable version is 12.2.0. It is designed to run on low-end hardware like Raspberry Pi and supports Docker images for multiple architectures. Key differentiators include real-time file system updates, drag-and-drop uploads, clipboard support, side-by-side mode, shareable download links, and a powerful text editor with themes and language support. It uses an in-memory file index which can cause slow initial startup for large file sets. Release cadence is irregular; the latest version was published in 2021.
