Instead of Filestash
Filestash alternatives
Filestash combines file sharing, document management, managed file transfer, and archiving in one browser interface. It connects to services such as FTP, WebDAV, SFTP, S3, SMB, Git, SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Storj, and can expose storage through several gateways. Teams can add event-driven workflows, SSO, access controls, audit logs, and AI features including semantic search and OCR. It supports web, desktop, and mobile platforms and can be self-hosted on a Linux server with Docker.

FileVoyager
Free plan Windows
That range may be more than someone needs for moving files or organizing a desktop, and its commercial plans start at $50 per month. The free Hobby plan supports up to three users; Enterprise Solutions costs $290 per month. Self-hosting also calls for server setup. Alternatives here focus on narrower tasks, from dual-pane local file management to transfers between a Windows computer and remote servers. Compare the platforms you use, the storage and protocols you need, and whether team controls, sharing, or a recurring commercial subscription matter before switching.
