Overview

What is Plik?

Plik is a temporary file sharing service, simple and secure, acting as a 'sovereign WeTransfer'. You upload files and receive a shareable link, which you control in terms of lifespan and number of downloads.

Regarding security, Plik offers server-side encryption, one-time password (OTP) protection, and deletion upon first read. Beyond its clean drag-and-drop web interface, it provides a command-line client to integrate with scripts and automation, as well as user account management with quotas and support for various storage destinations (local or S3-compatible).

Open-source and self-hostable, Plik allows you to exchange files — including large or sensitive ones — without relying on a mainstream cloud service: your data stays on your own server.

Host Plik at DINAO

No managed container for Plik: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (1 cœur / 256 Mo / 5 Go minimum).

Application available on a VPS

This application requires privileged access to the host machine, which is incompatible with managed shared hosting. It is installed on a VPS (virtual private server) that you administer: DINAO delivers it with Docker and the management panel of your choice, and you install and maintain Plik yourself. The VPS is not managed by DINAO unless you add the managed-services option when ordering.

Technical reason: bind-mount d'un chemin hôte (volumes nommés uniquement en managé).

Frequently asked questions

You might be wondering…

Is Plik an alternative to WeTransfer?

Yes, in a sovereign version. Plik allows you to send files via a temporary and secure link, but your data remains hosted in France on your instance, not with a foreign mainstream service.

How to ensure the confidentiality of a transfer?

Plik offers server-side encryption, one-time password (OTP) protection, and deletion upon first read, in addition to a limited lifespan and number of downloads.

Can I automate it?

Yes. Beyond the web interface, Plik provides a command-line client to integrate file sharing into your scripts, backups, or pipelines.

Where are the sent files stored?

On DINAO infrastructure in France, or on an external S3-compatible storage depending on your configuration. Your files remain on sovereign servers.

Do links really expire?

Yes. Each link has a lifespan and/or a maximum number of downloads: once the limit is reached, the file is no longer accessible and can be automatically deleted.
