Private File Sharing for AWS - Self-Hosted, Serverless, No SaaS

S3ndless File Sharing is a self-hosted, serverless file sharing solution designed for organizations that cannot use external SaaS services for exchanging files. Many companies are restricted from using tools like WeTransfer, Dropbox, or Google Drive due to compliance, security, or data residency requirements. S3ndless addresses this by providing a modern file sharing experience that runs entirely inside your AWS account, using only AWS-managed services. Once deployed via CloudFormation, S3ndless operates without servers to manage. Files are stored in your own Amazon S3 bucket and distributed through your CloudFront distribution. Access to files is controlled using expiring links, optional password protection, and configurable upload restrictions. The included web interface allows users to upload files through a simple drag-and-drop UI and immediately generate secure download links. Expiration rules can be defined based on time or number of downloads. The interface can be customized using a configuration file stored in S3, allowing organizations to apply their own branding, text, and domain. S3ndless is intended for production use in security-sensitive environments where full ownership of infrastructure, data, and access control is required.

A live instance of S3ndless is available for evaluation at: https://send.silverlining.cloud  This environment is deployed in our AWS account and allows you to test the user interface, upload workflow, expiration settings, and password-protected downloads. The demo is provided solely for functional evaluation. In production, S3ndless is deployed into your own AWS account using CloudFormation, where all storage, access control, and configuration remain under your control.
