I need some help with a project for a customer who wants to set up a Dropbox-style server in their local network. The system should allow sales reps and some of their customers to upload large files for technical support issues. They're looking for a simple web interface that supports drag-and-drop uploads and downloads, making it easy for support reps to browse through the folders. Additionally, they want SFTP support, where the support technicians can provide links based on case numbers, ensuring each folder is isolated by case. I know this has probably been done many times before, so I'm seeking suggestions from those who may have experience with similar setups.

If you want a straightforward approach, consider getting a NAS like QNAP or Synology. They’re user-friendly and include options for redundancy through RAID setups.
Have you checked out OwnCloud? It might fit your needs well, especially for file management and sharing.
Take a look at SFTPGo. It seems to have the features you're after for secure file transfers.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to my list!
I recommend using OwnCloud if you want something reliable. Just make sure to isolate it on the network to keep everything secure. Activating TOTP for second-factor authentication is a good idea too.
Nextcloud could be a great option too. They offer enterprise support if that's something your customer might need.
Wow, getting a lot of good options in such a short time! I appreciate it.

After a quick look, it seems promising! I'll dive deeper into it tomorrow, thanks for suggesting.
