What is PicoShare?
PicoShare is a minimalist, self-hosted web application that enables users to share files of any size or type on the web. It solves the problem of restrictive file-sharing services by providing direct download links without ads, signups, or forced media re-encoding. Users can deploy it on their own servers for full control over their data.
Individuals or small teams who need a simple, self-hosted solution for sharing files without the limitations of commercial platforms. It's ideal for those who prioritize privacy, control, and avoiding file restrictions.
Developers choose PicoShare for its simplicity, lack of file restrictions, and self-hosting capabilities, offering an ad-free, direct-sharing alternative to services like imgur or Vimeo with minimal maintenance overhead.
