I appreciate FileRun's ability to manage files through a web browser, desktop clients, or mobile apps, supporting standard operations like upload, download, move, copy, and search. I also like how I can share files securely, either internally with other users on my FileRun instance or externally via password-protected web links. The self-hosted nature of FileRun allows me to keep all my data on my own server, avoiding third-party cloud providers, which I find essential for privacy, security, and control. I like that it supports custom authentication through integration with existing systems like LDAP, Active Directory, or WordPress for user management. FileRun's optimized performance is great since it's lightweight and fast, allowing it to run on modest hardware like a Raspberry Pi or an old home server. I love that there's no need to migrate, as FileRun works directly with my existing file structure, saving me time and hassle. I enjoy the media management features, such as the built-in image gallery and video player, which provide browsing, playback, and basic management of photos, music, and videos without needing to download them. The immediate performance gains from switching to FileRun, compared to other services, are noticeable and appreciated.

Since it’s self-hosted, we can manage our data on our own infrastructure, ensuring both security and compliance. The interface is clean and easy to navigate, and the ability to preview files, share links with external users, and customize permissions makes collaboration simple. It’s also very lightweight and doesn’t require heavy resources to run smoothly, which is a big plus.
