Closest dropbox / wetransfer alternative on Cloudron?

[eddowding]

I'm looking to create folders where I can share misc work with my clients.

Ideally folders will be password protected and have a clean url.

What's the closest to that we have?

Thanks!

Nextcloud?
Surfer can do file/dir hosting but password is for the entire site. Separate sites for clients.
Cubby is simple and works.
Jirefau is pure file, so dirs will be tgz/zip/... archives.
WP can be done with the right plugins too.
Maybe even in EspoCRM if @marcusquinn chimes in.

I'd go Nextcloud for simplicity and it has so many other uses.

Espo does have a brilliant feature in being able to create "Portals", which you can also use for this kind of thing.

Both are good options for long-term shares. If it's just a large file transfer and then delete, then I think you have some other options.

Yeah, Nextcloud does this well so I'd use that.

I sometimes create a nice short url to share using my install of yourls

This is the key part IMO.
Different solutions but clients are often not very tech-literate (yours may be), so it has to be easy.
So, as others have said, Nextcloud probably wins.
Despite being a fat solution for a simple task.

Personally I use Seafile, but it's not a Cloudron app.

Though it's listed as not suitable for production, I've had good success sharing large media files using Cubby - it was simple!
