Overview

What is PicoShare?

PicoShare is a minimalist and self-hosted web application that makes sharing files on the web as simple as possible, with no size, file type, or media format restrictions.

The principle is straightforward: you upload a file, and PicoShare provides you with a direct download link to share with anyone; your recipients view or download the file without ads or registration. Unlike services like Imgur, Vimeo, or SoundCloud, which are limited to certain content types, PicoShare accepts any file — and never imposes re-encoding.

Lightweight, it relies on an SQLite database and deploys via Go or Docker. With a storage target compatible with Litestream, PicoShare can automatically replicate your data and allow for later restoration, ensuring simple, reliable, and sovereign file sharing.

FAQ

You might be wondering…

What files can I share?

Any of them: images, videos, audio, archives, documents… with no type or size restrictions, unlike specialized platforms like Imgur or Vimeo.

Are my media files re-encoded?

No. PicoShare serves your files as-is, without re-encoding or delay, and thus without imposed quality loss.

Can links expire?

Yes, you can set an expiration on sharing links to limit their lifespan.

Where are my files hosted?

On your DINAO instance in France, in one of the available data centers. Cloud replication (Litestream) is available as an option.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Your files remain exportable, with no proprietary lock-in, and you can change tiers at any time.
