What it does
XBackBone is a self-hosted file-sharing application with web uploads, integrations for capture clients, file previews and multi-user administration.
XBackBone provides a destination for uploads from ShareX, Screencloud and other clients, with configuration generators for supported integrations and a web upload route. Its version 3 interface previews images, audio, video, code and PDFs, while a gallery and search help manage earlier uploads. Public and private uploads, user roles and disk quotas let an operator control access and capacity. Storage can be local or use a supported remote backend. The version 3 documentation identifies AGPL v3.0 licensing; match deployment and client instructions to the installed release before planning an upgrade.
