XBackBone

A self-hosted file sharing and backup tool that lets you upload, manage, and share files from your own server.

About XBackBone

XBackBone is a lightweight, self-hosted PHP application that turns your server into a simple file sharing and backup hub. You upload files through a clean web interface or via its REST API, and the tool generates shareable links. It supports password protection, expiration dates, and multiple upload formats.

XBackBone stores files on the local filesystem or any object storage compatible with the S3 protocol. It runs on any Linux server with PHP 8.1+, MySQL or SQLite, and a web server like Nginx or Apache. Users get fine-grained share settings, a built-in image gallery, and full file previews. The project is maintained by SergiX44 and is completely open source under the GPL-3.0 license.

This tool is ideal for individuals or small teams who want control over their data without paying for cloud subscriptions. It requires no external services, works behind a reverse proxy, and can handle daily backups or quick file drops. XBackBone is used by sysadmins and privacy-conscious users who prefer a simple, auditable file drop solution.
