File sharing that simply flows

Self-hosted. You set the limits.

Send files, collect client uploads, and control access to shared links.
Host Dew on your own servers or with your trusted cloud provider.

Start free with up to 5 local users and 1 domain. No signup. No credit card.

Link protection

Choose how each file can be accessed

Public links are convenient. But some files need more protection.
Dew lets you secure each share with:

  • Passwords

    Lock any link behind a password.

  • Email verification

    Require a one-time code sent by email before download.

  • SMS verification

    Require a one-time code sent by text message before download.

  • IP allow lists

    Restrict access to known networks.

  • Single-use access

    The link works for one download, then stops working.

  • Automatic expiration

    Links stop working on schedule.

  • Individual expiration dates

    Set a different lifetime on every share.

    You decide who gets access and how long the link stays available.

File requests

Collect files from anyone

Need files from a customer, partner, or collaborator? Send them a file request. They open the link in their browser and upload what you asked for - contracts, media, logs, scans, project files, or anything else.

No recipient account. No extra cost for collaborators.

Apps

Drag. Drop. Done.

Dew works in any modern browser on desktop and mobile. Native apps for macOS and Windows, with Linux in preview, make frequent sharing quicker: drop in a file, let Dew upload it, and use the link that comes back.

The desktop apps can also be deployed through standard MDM workflows.

Self-hosted

Your data.
Your sovereignty.

Dew is self-hosted by design. Run it on infrastructure you trust and keep the files where you want them - in your office, on a NAS, in your datacenter, or with a cloud provider of your choice. That gives you control over GDPR, data sovereignty, customer requirements, and internal security policies.

Dew runs in Docker and fits into infrastructure you may already have. Typical deployments include:

Synology and other Docker-capable NAS systemsLinux serversVirtual machinesMac or Windows systemsPrivate datacentersCloud infrastructure
