Zdir
Zdir is a self-hosted file management server that indexes local and remote directories to build organized, browsable storage catalogues with global search and sharing links. It provides a web-based interface for file manipulation and online media previews, enabling users to view images, documents, and videos directly in the browser without local downloads.
The platform integrates standard WebDAV file management endpoints to allow external clients to mount storage directories and edit documents remotely. It includes background downloading capabilities that fetch files directly from external URLs to server storage without consuming client bandwidth, alongside keyword-based search indexing to locate stored items across the entire directory structure.
Access control and sharing are managed through secure token links that generate restricted or controlled read and write visibility for specific files and folders.
