chibisafe is a self-hosted file uploader and file vault that accepts images, videos, documents and other files and returns shareable links.
It can operate as a public service, require user accounts, or restrict registration to invitations. A web dashboard gives administrators control over most instance settings, while users can organise uploads into albums and folders and manage their files through the browser.
