I'm looking for some kind of File Drop / File Upload service.

I'd like to be able to create a folder, and create a share / upload link for that folder that I can give to a customer to use to upload their documents.

I've been using nextcloud but I don't use nextcloud for any other purpose and it's a behemoth so I'd like to transition to something else.

Some of these requirements are essential (!):

  • no login for customers uploading (!)
  • optional password protection for uploads
  • can't see / download files already present in the shared folder

So for example if you updated the file and need to re-upload it, there is no way for you to delete the previous one.

if this is something you'd fancy then copyparty might be worth a look -- it lets uploaders undo their own uploads within a configurable timeframe, even in folders where they only have write-only access (the ability to upload files without seeing existing files).

disclaimer: I'm the author -- and also thrilled to see someone else suggesting it in the thread!
