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.
This is free and open source software.
