FileCodeBox: A Secure, Anonymous File-Sharing Platform for Effortless Transfers

Published on

FileCodeBox also called "File Delivery Cabinet") is an open-source, privacy-focused platform designed to simplify secure file sharing through a unique "anonymous passcode" system. Inspired by real-world parcel lockers, it allows users to share files or text snippets with temporary, randomized codes—no registration or personal data required[1][4][9]. Below, we break down its features, use cases, and how to get started.

**What Makes FileCodeBox Stand Out?**

  1. **Secure and Anonymous Sharing**

    • **No Registration Needed**: Share files without revealing your identity, email, or phone number[4][5].
    • **Encrypted Transfers**: Files are protected during upload and download[10].
    • **Anti-Bruteforce Measures**: Limits incorrect passcode attempts and restricts uploads by IP to prevent abuse[1][5].

  2. **User-Friendly Features**

    • **Drag-and-Drop or Copy-Paste Uploads**: Supports both files (up to 4GB) and text snippets[4][5].
    • **Customizable Expiry**: Set expiration times or download limits for shared content[4][10].
    • **Multi-Language Support**: Available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese[1][6].

  3. **Easy Deployment and Management**

    • **One-Click Docker Setup**: Deploy your own instance in minutes using Docker[2][7].
    • **Admin Dashboard**: Monitor file activity, manage uploads, and delete content as needed[5][8].

**How to Use FileCodeBox**

**Step 1: Deploy Your Instance**

For self-hosting (recommended for full control):

```bash

docker run -d --restart=always -p 12345:12345 -v /path/to/data:/app/data --name filecodebox lanol/filecodebox:latest

```

Replace `/path/to/data` with your storage directory and `12345` with your preferred port[2][7].

**Step 2: Upload Files or Text**

  1. Visit your FileCodeBox URL (e.g., `http://your-domain:12345\`).
  2. Drag files into the upload area or paste text directly.
  3. Set optional parameters: expiration time, download limits, or a custom passcode[4][9].

**Step 3: Share the Passcode**

The system generates a unique code (e.g., `83432`). Share this code with recipients—they’ll enter it on the platform to retrieve the content[9][10].

**Why FileCodeBox Fits American Users’ Needs**

  • **Privacy Compliance**: Ideal for GDPR-conscious sharing or sensitive business documents[4][10].
  • **Simplicity**: The interface mimics familiar tools like WeTransfer but adds anonymity and self-hosting options.
  • **Versatility**: Use it for personal file backups, team collaborations, or temporary data transfers[6][10].
