The record

Purpose: Cloud Commander is a web file manager with a command-line console and text editor for managing servers, files, directories, and programs in a browser.
Panels: It has two classic panels and can switch to one-panel mode for smaller screens or by configuration.
Editors: It includes three built-in editors with syntax highlighting: Dword, Edward, and Deepword.
File operations: It supports file viewing, editing, copying, moving, renaming, uploading, downloading, and archive packing and extraction.
Media viewing: The viewer can display images and text files and play audio and video.
Integrations: Dropbox integration allows basic file and directory creation, removal, renaming or moving, viewing, and editing.
Dropbox limits: Dropbox use does not support remote console or terminal access or showing file-operation progress.
Deployment: The project documents installation through npm and deployment as a Docker container or Docker Compose service.
Platforms: The site says the server works on Windows, Linux, Mac OS, and Android with Termux, while the client runs in a web browser.
Security: Authorization is optional, and the documentation says the configuration stores a password hash rather than a plain-text password.
Transport security: The documentation describes configuring SSL through an Nginx reverse proxy.
Terminal: The terminal is disabled and not installed by default; the site instructs users to install gritty and configure its path to enable it.
Middleware: Cloud Commander can be used as middleware in Node.js applications based on Socket.IO and Express.
License: The project is open source under the MIT License.
