FileBrowser Quantum hosting in the EU
Run your own FileBrowser Quantum, an alternative to cPanel File Manager and FileZilla. One-click install, HTTPS, servers in the EU. Free plan, no card.
FileBrowser Quantum: upload, download and sort the files your apps keep, from your browser. On blitz.cloud you install it from the App Store in one click. It gets its own address with HTTPS, 1 GB of storage, and it runs on servers in the EU. You can run it on the free plan, without a credit card.
A self-hosted alternative to cPanel File Manager and FileZilla
FileBrowser Quantum does the job of cPanel File Manager or FileZilla, but it is your own copy: your data sits in your app, not in somebody else's account, and nobody changes the price or the rules on you. Self-hosting usually means renting a server and keeping it patched. Here the App Store sets it up and keeps it running.

Is FileBrowser Quantum backed up?
On Pro its files are copied every night and kept for 30 nights, and you can put them back from the app's page. On the free plan they are not copied, so keep an export of what matters.
