The Problem
Cloud Lock-In
Cloud-first file access tools are not the right fit for every environment. Many teams want browser access to internal files without giving up infrastructure control or pushing storage into the cloud.
Free and Open Source Software Designed for Self-Hosting
Explore, preview, and manage files directly in the browser.
The Problem
Cloud-first file access tools are not the right fit for every environment. Many teams want browser access to internal files without giving up infrastructure control or pushing storage into the cloud.
The Gap
Traditional file managers still work well on local desktops, but they are less suited to browser-based work styles and mobile access. Sambee closes that gap by bringing SMB shares and local drives into the browser.
The Value
Use Sambee when you want cloud-like convenience for browsing and previewing files, but need deployment, access, and storage to stay under your control.
Keep file access in your own environment instead of routing everyday file handling through cloud storage.
Browse large SMB directories with search, keyboard shortcuts, dual-pane navigation, and instant navigation to any directory.
View images, PDFs, and Markdown directly in the browser, including formats browsers do not handle well on their own.
Open files in Word, Photoshop, LibreOffice, and other installed desktop apps through Sambee Companion.
Use the same system from a workstation, tablet, or phone without giving up core functionality.
Deploy with Docker, place it behind your reverse proxy, and connect it to the SMB storage you already use.
Connect Sambee to your existing storage. Access local drives in the same way as remote SMB shares.
