Roast my first OPEN SOURCE project - A self hosted Dropbox.

Hello!

I have built a file sharing service that you can install on a Raspberry Pi, or any server connected to the internet really. Want to turn some old hard-dives into your own dropbox? Need massive amounts of online storage and don't want the SAAS fees? Or just need privacy? Then host it yourself.

It has a 'pretty' UI which makes uploading, downloading, viewing and sharing straight forward. It should deal with massive file uploads pretty well. I have tested it up to 50GBs. You can upload files for private viewing or share multiple files in public link, preview media such as photos, video and audio, search files and securely access those files outside the home.

You can find a link to the code here: https://files.tombrianturner.com/

Let me know where you find issues with installation! Feel free to join the project if you like it. Readme + Docs are on their way so i appreciate your feedback.

Many thanks!

    Nice looking website, might be a good idea to show some basic documentation/install instructions on the site. Lazy me normally checks out a sites documentation before jumping in to the installation haha.
