Features

Everything FileRun does.
Every plan includes all of it.

Working with files

Preview almost anything

Office documents, PDFs, images including camera RAW, video, audio, e-books, 3D models and CAD drawings. All of them open in the browser.
You can look inside an archive without unpacking it.

Edit together, without downloading

Documents open in ONLYOFFICE, Collabora or LibreOffice Online on your own server, or in Google, Zoho or Microsoft 365. Several people can edit the same document at the same time.
Images, text and source code have their own editors.

Nothing gets lost

When a file is overwritten, the old version is saved. You can restore it.
Deleted files go to the trash. A file can be locked while somebody works on it, so two people cannot overwrite each other.

Sharing

Share with users and groups

Share a folder with one person or a whole group, and pick one of seven roles with a single click: Viewer, Commenter, Editor, Contributor, Distributor, Content manager or Uploader.
The folder appears under Shared with me in their account. Nothing is copied or moved.

Share with people outside

Share with an e-mail address, even if that person has no account — FileRun creates a guest account for them.
Or send a link. Whoever opens it sees the full interface, not a limited public page.

You stay in control

Passwords, expiry dates, download limits, and terms to accept before downloading.
File requests accept uploads only. One switch turns off every public link on the server.

Getting to your files

Desktop sync

Your files sit in a normal folder on the computer. Work in your usual programs, and the changes go to the server on their own.
Two-way sync for Windows, macOS and Linux. Sync everything, or only the folders you choose.

Phones and tablets

iOS and Android apps. Photos on the phone can be backed up to your own server automatically.
You can also add FileRun to the home screen and use it like an app.

WebDAV and a REST API

Connect FileRun as a network drive in Windows Explorer or Mac Finder.
Or use it from your own program: there is an OpenAPI description, OAuth2 with limited tokens, and a PHP client library.

Running it

Users, groups and quotas

Storage and traffic limits, maximum upload size, allowed file types, account end dates, and forced password changes.
Accounts can be created and removed through the API.

Delegated administration

A second-level administrator manages only the accounts they created, and cannot give away more storage than they have.
Useful for resellers, or for keeping departments separate.

Branding

Themes, logos, icons and your own CSS. Links to your own privacy policy and terms.
Any text in the interface can be replaced with your own words.

Day to day

Notifications

Get an e-mail about downloads, uploads, comments and shares. Follow a folder and be told when something inside it changes.
Administrators can send these messages to any address.

35 languages

Fully translated into 35 languages.
You can also change single words to match the ones your organization uses. Your changes are kept when you update.

Paste a screenshot, get a link

Press Print Screen, then Ctrl+V in the browser.
The image is uploaded to the folder you have open, and you get a link to it.

Finding things

Search inside documents

Elasticsearch and Apache Tika read the text inside your PDFs and office files, so you can search the contents and not only the file names.
Files added over FTP, or in any other way, are indexed as well.

Scanned documents too

OCR reads scanned PDFs and photos of documents. You can then search an old paper archive, even though nobody typed the text.

Your own metadata

Create your own fields and choose which file types use them. Show them as columns, sort and search on them.
Exif, IPTC and XMP data is read from photos on upload, and any file can carry tags, star ratings, colors and comments.

Try the whole list

Every feature above is in every plan, from €9.9 per user per year.
Put it on your own server and see which ones you actually use.
