Idea: File Manager within FreedomBox

  • It would be good to have a file manager when implemented as a separate app.
  • We should indeed try to reduce the user’s need to use a file manager. An example of this issue. We may not be able to eliminate all such needs. Android tries to do the same.
  • Currently, one use case could be static file hosting in user’s home directory that is automatically served at https://<box>/~user .
  • Both Filestash and File browser look interesting. I added them to https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/LeavingTheCloud
