# File Browser

## About

File Browser is another self hosted application I use to assist me in remotely accessing my files. I have a working directory which I pass through to the docker container. The container has a web UI which I then expose out to the WWW securely. With this I can download, modify and upload files onto the share. Pretty useful application especially when u want to share files/folders to friends and family.
