What is copyparty?
Run copyparty on your own VPS in one click.
Copyparty turns any browser into your own file drop: drag a folder in from your laptop or phone, and the upload picks up where it left off if your connection drops. Friends download through a link, your desktop mounts it as a WebDAV drive, and photos show up as thumbnails. Hosted on your own VPS, copyparty stays online around the clock and is reachable from anywhere without port forwarding at home. You deploy it in one click through the Coolify One-Click Apps installer.
Unlike a Dropbox account, the rules here are yours: you decide which accounts exist, which folders guests can only read and how much storage your files get. Full root access lets you put copyparty behind your own domain with HTTPS, open WebDAV, SFTP or FTP in the firewall, sync folders with rsync and edit the config whenever you like. It's a lightweight app on a server you control, with no limits you didn't set.

Inside copyparty
What you can do with copyparty one app, every protocol
Copyparty handles huge uploads that survive dropped connections, and you reach the same files from a browser, a WebDAV drive or an SFTP client, each with its own permissions.

Resumable upload queue
Drag in whole folders and watch every file progress in a live queue. Uploads are split into chunks and hashed, so after a dropped connection or a closed tab they resume where they stopped instead of starting over, and files already on the server are skipped.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about copyparty
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Copyparty VPS hosting means the open-source copyparty file server runs on your own ZAP-Hosting KVM VPS. You deploy it in one click with the Coolify One-Click Apps installer and get full root access plus an always-on web UI you can reach from any device. Compared with Nextcloud, copyparty is the lightweight option: a fast file server without a full office suite on top.
- Open-source file server with a web UI
- One-click deploy via Coolify
- Full root access on a KVM VPS
Order a VPS, open the One-Click Apps tab in your dashboard and deploy copyparty through Coolify. Once the container is running, open the URL Coolify shows you, sign in and set up your accounts and volumes. You don't have to install Docker or Python by hand. Read the One-Click Apps guide
- Choose a VPS plan
- Deploy copyparty from One-Click Apps
- Open the web UI and create accounts
Copyparty itself is lightweight, so what matters most is how much storage you need and how many people upload at the same time. A personal drop box runs fine on a small plan. A family media share with lots of thumbnails, or a team upload portal, benefits from more CPU, RAM and disk. Start small and move to a bigger plan as your files grow.
- Personal drop box: entry-level plan
- Family media share: more storage and RAM
- Team uploads: more CPU for parallel transfers
Yes. Copyparty is free, open-source software under the MIT license, so the app itself costs nothing. You only pay for the VPS it runs on, and you can add as many accounts and volumes as your storage allows.
- MIT-licensed open source
- No per-user fees
- You only pay for the VPS
Yes. Point an A record for your domain or subdomain to your VPS IP and add the domain to the copyparty app in Coolify. Coolify's built-in proxy then requests a free Let's Encrypt certificate, so the web UI and WebDAV run over HTTPS.
- Point an A record to your VPS IP
- Add the domain in Coolify
- Free Let's Encrypt certificate
Create named accounts, give guests read-only or upload-only access and never leave a volume writable for everyone. In the VPS firewall, open only the protocols you actually use, such as WebDAV, SFTP or FTP, and keep the app up to date by redeploying it in Coolify. Manual Backups and restores come with ZapX Pass. Firewall guide in the Help Center
- Named accounts with strong passwords
- Read-only or upload-only guest folders
- Open only the protocols you use
You can choose from VPS locations in Europe and America when you order. Pick the one closest to you and the people you share files with. Many North American users start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles.

- Latency depends on the location you pick
Yes, you can cancel your copyparty VPS anytime. You choose a flexible term when you order, and a cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term, so your files stay available until then.
- Cancel anytime
- Flexible term lengths
- Access until the term ends

Why can my guests see files in the upload folder?
That folder probably gives everyone read access. For an upload-only drop box, give guests write access without read on that volume, then restart copyparty so the new permissions apply. I can walk you through the exact config line.
Will that block my own account?
No. Permissions are set per user, so your account can keep full read and write access while guests can only upload.
