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.
Features
- Storage Indexers - Scanning local directories to build an organized and navigable catalogue of stored items for easy browsing.
- In-Memory Catalogues - Recurses local storage paths to construct an in-memory searchable catalogue without requiring a traditional database.
- Self-Hosted File Servers - A private file management server that generates browsable catalogues of stored content with global search and sharing links.
- Remote File Managers - The storage server executes upload, download, delete, rename, move, and copy operations on stored files through a web interface.
- Remote File Metadata Indexing - The storage server scans remote directories and catalogue files to build an organized, browsable index of private storage servers.
- Keyword Search - Performs rapid string matching across the entire directory structure to locate stored items instantly.
- Directory Indexers - The storage server scans local directories on a server or network device to build a navigable catalogue of stored items.
