• How do you browse files on a remote machine? Terminal? Web? Explorer??

• Lovely man! Absolutely lovely! Keep it up bro. NICE WORK!!!!

• Can i use windows 10 for file servers?

• This is just what I needed.
  
  I followed, Put Wildcard Certificates and SSL on EVERYTHING – Traefik Tutorial.
  
  And can't get it to work.
  
  Please help.

• Wow! Great video and very well explained!
  I am excited now, I think! I am on shared hosting and wish to migrate to a VPS with Caprover. I should be able to install FileBrowser with one click and from their migrate over my data with the help of this app and the MySQL app, no?
  Would there be another way that is easier for a non-dev?
  Subscribed!

• But that's only within your local network … how will it be an alternative to Dropbox ?

• This is absolutely brilliant. Filebrowser, Docker, and your presentation. I followed step by step and was able to make it work. And I've never done this before. Thank you for this incredible video!

• hello, in my case when I upload any file or do anyaction the web not refresh and I must click on reload icon, so how can I solve this situation? thanks

• I was all ready to install nextcloud only to browse online in needful time. This comes as plugin in OMV but that didn't worked form. This instatlion is clean simple and to the point. This one working well. Best video / tutorial 🙂

• does it not write the files to the system directory thats specified? i'm ssh'd into the machine the server is running on and uploaded a file in my home directory and nothing shows on the machine.

• So let's take a break from the graduate classes to revisit 2nd grade. Wonderful. I love teachers.

• I'm finding "File Browser" interesting. But how do you keep it up to date? Is there a mailing list you have to subscribe to? Do you re-download the container periodically?

• Hello, thank you very much for the tutorial. Do you know how to make it not ask me for authentication and access directly to the directories. aware of the vulnerability but what I need is to make users access from a local network

• Too bad docker is such total crap on Windows (yeah, I know but my employer doesn't allow me to switch to Linux…)

• It's frustrating that I am unable to share a file with someone and enable them to upload a file to me without providing them with a FileBrowser username and password, which I am hesitant to do. This inconvenience is unnecessary and should be a standard feature. Nonetheless, I really appreciate using filebrowser to share my content with others.

• How can I delete this? I installed it on Ubuntu server

• I run this compose file on Windows. I got the error "/database.db is a directory". After removing this line, the container worked well.

• Would it be possible to use File Browser as a webfront to view files on SharePoint or OneDrive? Or some other way of hosting File Browser not via Docker? i.e. In an enterprise environment where you can't use docker?

• Really interesting. Does this hold user logs such as the date/time and ip of who uploaded/downloaded files?

• i been using filerun for my sharing. But the theme is light! I will change to this cause of dark theme!
