Secure File Sharing, On Your Terms

Erugo is a powerful, self-hosted file-sharing platform that puts you in complete control of your data. Built with PHP and Laravel with a Vue.js frontend, Erugo combines security with an elegant, intuitive user interface to deliver a seamless experience for both senders and recipients.

Why Choose Erugo?

In today's digital landscape, sharing files securely shouldn't be complicated or compromise your privacy. Erugo was designed with this philosophy in mind, offering a robust alternative to third-party services that may track your data or impose restrictive limitations.

Complete Data Control

When you host Erugo on your own infrastructure, your files never leave your control. No third-party servers, no unknown data centres—just secure, direct transfers managed by you.

Elegant Simplicity

Despite its powerful capabilities, Erugo maintains a clean, intuitive interface that anyone can use. Upload files, create shareable links with human-friendly URLs (like yourdomain.com/shares/quiet-cloud-shrill-thunder), and manage your shares—all through a beautiful, responsive interface.

Enterprise-Ready, Open-Source Heart

Erugo delivers professional-grade features while remaining completely open-source under the MIT license. Customise it to match your brand, extend its functionality, or simply use it as is with confidence.
