: Host and share files in my hosting I currently have a domain+hosting with unlimited hosting space for our website. On the other hand, I use Dropbox to share our organizational files and photos
I currently have a domain+hosting with unlimited hosting space for our website. On the other hand, I use Dropbox to share our organizational files and photos between about 10 users. The thing is that sharing photos uses too much space for what a free Dropbox account offers. So I am thinking of taking advantage of my hosting space, but using FTP seems not to be ideal for users who are not too skilled with computers. In addition, it doesn't handle versions in case some user makes a mess of it. And using a public FTP to upload and giving them only download permission doesn't seem a good idea as I am only the CTO. So what I want is basically to implement a local Dropbox for a few users, but I'd prefer something that is not too complex to install/mantain.
Thank you a lot.

Maybe owncloud is what you are looking for. There are clients for android, windows, mac, linux and (I think) iOS. It's running on PHP and can be easily installed.
Check with the terms of service of your host.
Most unlimited hosting services have clauses to prevent abuse. It is often specified that you can only host files used for your websites and not for personal storage.
On the other hand, for a service with fixed hosting space, you are usually allowed to use the space with fewer restrictions.
There are file sharing application you can run on your hosting account to do photo/file sharing. But i am not sure if your hosting company allows it.
