I’m a noob at this so I’m looking for easy, but any suggestions are welcome.
I’m looking for Windows software that will let me share files or a folder (or two) with my daughter. I’d like a GUI to run it from and it needs to be super easy for my daughter to use. She’s kind of a techie as well but the easier the better.
I’d like to be able to point it to folders on my PC that I can drag/drop files to and from for her…not just media, all file types.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Sorry, I should have clarified - my daughter doesn’t live with me so she’s not on our local network. I was looking for software that will let her see folders I specify on my PC and she can grab what she wants at any time.
I’m surprised that no one has suggested it yet. But, FileBrowser is exactly what you’re looking for! Set it up on your PC with docker and point it at any directory you want, put it behind a reverse proxy, make your daughter an account and you’re done. It should work perfectly for you as it’s designed to handle situations exactly like yours. Willing to help further if you need, dm me.
This is the way.
As for “reverse proxy”, I find the easiest is one of two:
ZeroTrus, or
Cloudflare Tunnels
Both are easy to set-up.
Filebrowser is fantastic!
