Full rankings: Dropbox alternatives

In its own words

The project's README opens: "Filestash started as a storage agnostic Dropbox-like file manager that speaks every storage protocol ( SFTP , S3 , SMB , WebDAV , IPFS, FTP , NFS, and about 20 more )."

Why it ranks here

Health score explained

Filestash scores 72/100, #8 of 17 in File Transfer - Web-based File Managers: 142 commits in the last 90 days earn 35.0 of 35 points, the absence of a tagged release forfeits all 25 release points, 14,847 stars add 16.7 of 20, an active, unarchived repository keeps 10 and Docker support adds the final 10. That places it in the good band (70 and above). The biggest shortfall is release recency, worth 25.0 more points.
