# Home assistant add-on: Filebrowser
I maintain this and other Home Assistant add-ons in my free time: keeping up with upstream changes, HA changes, and testing on real hardware takes a lot of time (and some money). I use around 5-10 of my >110 addons so regularly I install test machines (and purchase some test services such as vpn) that I don't use myself to troubleshoot and improve the addons
If this add-on saves you time or makes your setup easier, I would be very grateful for your support!

## About
Web-based file management interface that provides a secure way to browse, upload, download, edit and manage files on your Home Assistant system. Filebrowser offers a clean, modern interface for handling your files through a web browser, with support for multiple file formats, preview capabilities, and comprehensive file operations.
This addon is based on the [docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/filebrowser/filebrowser) from the official Filebrowser project.
