LinShare is a French open-source file sharing platform built for secure, auditable collaboration. It supports large-file transfers with password protection, expiry dates, and download notifications. Teams can create shared spaces with role-based permissions, invite guests, and track all activity. Outlook and Thunderbird plugins plus LDAP/SSO integration simplify adoption. The AGPLv3-licensed software can be self-hosted or deployed via qualified sovereign hosts.
