Hello, i am looking for a self hosted application for sharing files like with wetransfer. I have tried the discontinued Firefox Send which has nice features like link expiry and works great in general but lacks authentication (only offers simple password protection). I also want the option to share with registered users. Is there anything similar out there? Thanks
Also, I don’t think they make that much money from individuals. They focus more on businesses, because they pay more and these customers stay around for a long time, they can’t easily switch to a different solution.
I pay my $10 license and a personal organisation license for bitwarden because I like their platform but after yet another irrecoverable loss of data (partly my fault for not sufficiently backing it up) I’ve moved over to vaultwarden for my family’s password management.
I don’t think I’ll stop supporting bitwarden even if I’m not using their platform directly though as I do like the service I’ve had from them for something like 4 or 5 years now.
One time I ran out of disk space due to it having created since 200gb log files (not sure why that happened) then another time I think I broke something whilst moving from I’ve got to another. I can’t remember what else happened to break my instances but it was always big enough there I couldn’t restore it to working it after hours if work, so if just export the vaults from everyone’s machine, nuke it, start again and try to learn how I broke it so I didn’t do it again.
I believe I was the problem for most of them except the massive log files one, but still, it was probably my fault as the things usually are. (Guess whose wife has them well trained at accepting the blame 😋)

True enough, but I like to slide in an ad in for Bitwarden every once in a while. I don’t think my $10 alone is going to keep them afloat :)
I’m pretty sure Bitwarden is profitable, about a year ago they even purchased another company: https://bitwarden.com/blog/bitwarden-extends-passwordless-leadership-with-acquisition/

How’d you manage to lose data? I’ve never even noticed the sync service be down, let alone lose anything.

Oh, sorry. I thought you were saying the Bitwarden cloud server was losing your passwords or something.
