Filebrowser is a free and open-source file manager that allows you to access your files from anywhere. It provides a modern and easy-to-use interface, and it supports many popular file formats.
Here are the steps to install Filebrowser on Windows 11:
Download the latest version of Filebrowser for Windows from the official website: filebrowser.org/installation/#desktop">https://filebrowser.org/installation/#desktop
Extract the downloaded file to a folder of your choice.
Open the command prompt as an administrator.
Change the directory to the location of the extracted file using the cd command. For example, if the extracted file is in C:\Downloads\Filebrowser, use the command cd C:\Downloads\Filebrowser.
Run the filebrowser.exe file by typing .\filebrowser.exe in the command prompt.
You will see a message that says Serving on http://localhost:80. This means that Filebrowser is running on your computer and you can access it using a web browser.
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost. You will see the Filebrowser login page.
Enter a username and password for your Filebrowser account, and click on the "Create Account" button.
You will be redirected to the Filebrowser dashboard, where you can upload and manage your files.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Filebrowser on Windows 11.
Note: By default, Filebrowser runs on port 80, which is the default HTTP port. If you have another application running on this port, you can change the port number by adding the --port flag followed by a port number to the filebrowser.exe command. For example, to run Filebrowser on port 8080, use the command .\filebrowser.exe --port=8080.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
