Web-enabled file manager on steroids

At heart LimboMedia is a web-enabled file manager & browser allowing you to access files and folders on your homeserver with some amazing additional features. Others call it cloud, we keep things real and simple instead. Have all your data on your server and access, manage or stream from anywhere.

File Browser

Just like you love it: Clear, compact, hierarchical and with all the typical functionality, as well as a nice and fast Search-As-You-Type.

Multiple views

Switch between the classic compact list view or a nice gallery mode especially for your photos.

Existing folders

Create folders, upload files or scan existing files and folder structures on your disk. We don't want to change the way you organize your data.

Sharing is caring!

Share your folders with other LimboMedia users or create external links for users without accounts to send them via mail or messenger. Read-only or writable.
