Ask HN: How do I create a freely accessible, no login required DIY dropbox

1 points by usermac 11y ago ↗ HN

I just want a place that is free and easy for our staff to drop files, upload files without any login. It could be a separate machine used just for this. I'll clean it out every now and then. What do you think? Can you suggest something?

install wordpress and allow for a free upload https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-upload/ or use a simple ftp file system so you can upload it easily .

Get a free-tier AWS account, setup a bucket on S3 and then program something very simple to upload files using the SDK of your preferred language. Use the API to list folders+files so users can click to download.

Or if you want to setup the file server yourself: https://owncloud.org/
