Overview

FileRun is a self-hosted file sync and share web-based application - Like Google Drive, but private, and under your full control!

Great for photos: Fast thumbnail and preview generation. On the fly, while browsing folders
Guest users: Collaborate with other people without creating accounts for them
Metadata support: Automatically extracts and index information Exif, XMP and IPTC, so you can search photos by keywords, dates, author and more!
Send file requests: File requests allow you to collect and receive files from anyone, right into your FileRun user account, with just a link
And a lot more: fully secure, desktop sync, full mobile support, virtual drives, extensive plugins (Google Docs, Microsoft Office, Autodesk)

For full guidance on setup and configuration, refer to the FileRun support thread on Unraid forums.
