Hi all, first ever project I’ve posted.

I wanted a quick and easy way for family members and people to “drop” files into a folder that I could have Paperless consume. I wanted stupid simple, no accounts, no nothing.

So I created DumbDrop!

A stupidly simple file upload application that provides a clean, modern interface for dragging and dropping files. Built with Node.js and vanilla JavaScript.

No auth, no storage, no nothing. Just a simple file uploader to drop dumb files into a dumb folder.

This is it. Literally.

People can go to the site, upload a file, and boom, it’s uploaded into the folder of my choosing. No reading, only writing. The best part is, it comes with a progress bar! But that’s it.

I’m hoping to create an Unraid Community App Template once I figure that out…

But it’s also available on Dockerhub!

Oh and completely open source, so fire away and fork it, because this is what I need and I don’t know if I’ll do much if anything to update it.

Would love to hear some thoughts!

I am currently running a Pangolin tunnel to a VPS with Pangolin’s built in Auth using a pin to access so it’s not publicly accessible to just anyone.
