Safebucket is an open-source file sharing platform where files never touch your server. Uploads and downloads go directly to your storage backend. You bring your own identity provider, your own storage, and your own infrastructure. Safebucket handles metadata, access control and audit logging.
- Files bypass the server: Clients upload and download directly from S3-compatible storage via presigned URLs. The API only handles metadata and access control.
- SSO-first: Authenticate users with your existing identity providers via OIDC. No need to manage passwords for your team.
- Bucket-scoped access: All sharing happens through buckets with explicit membership and role-based permissions ( owner, contributor, viewer).
- Swappable infrastructure: Every component (storage, database, events, cache, notifier) can be replaced. Use AWS S3 or a self-hosted MinIO. Use NATS or SQS. Use PostgreSQL or SQLite, etc...
- Direct uploads and downloads via presigned URLs
- Role-based access control at platform and bucket level
- SSO via any OIDC provider, with local auth for external users
- Email invitations with challenge-based validation
- Real-time activity tracking and audit logs
- Multifactor authentication (TOTP)
- File expiration, trash with configurable retention
- Admin dashboard with platform-wide statistics
