Zipline is a self-hosted file upload and sharing service designed for screenshots, images, documents and other files. It integrates with ShareX and provides a browser-based interface for managing uploads, generating links and organising stored content. Unlike peer-to-peer transfer applications, Zipline stores uploaded files on a server controlled by the administrator, allowing them to remain accessible through persistent links.
The application includes tools for organising files into folders, assigning tags and shortening URLs. It also offers image compression, video thumbnails and configurable embeds for sharing content on other websites and services. Authentication features include OAuth2, two-factor authentication and passkeys, while administrators can manage invitations and storage quotas. Files can be stored on the local filesystem or through S3-compatible object storage, and an API provides access to upload and management functions.
This is free and open source software.
