I have a Samba mount at home (behind NAT, accessible via wireguard VPN), which works very well when accessing my home files when traveling (I travel a lot for work).
The only detail missing from this solution is sharing individual files with friends. I could give them access to my VPN, but that gives them access to everything, not just one thing I want to share. Also not all my friends are that tech savvy to manage connecting to a VPN.
What would be really great is to have a link-generator that punches a hole in the NAT to give them access to specific files. Are there any self-hosted solutions for that?
I haven’t bothered to set up anything that complex, but mega.nz gives you an encrypted 50GB of free space. I’m not crazy about supporting Kim Dotcom’s crazy ass, but it periodically solves problems for me.
I was also a founding member of box.com so there’s another free 50.
This is still a selfhosted sub isn’t it?
