# Filebrowser

> Filebrowser is an app for Home Assistant. It has 4.6k installs sharing analytics and was last updated October 27, 2026.

Filebrowser is a Home Assistant app that manages files in a web interface within a specified directory. It lets files be uploaded, downloaded, deleted, previewed, renamed and edited from a browser. The interface opens as its own page in the Home Assistant sidebar, and it can also be reached directly on a port of the host. Local drives and remote SMB shares can be mounted, and the app accepts custom scripts and extra environment variables. It is based on the Docker image of the Filebrowser project, runs on aarch64 and amd64, and needs Home Assistant OS. It asks for privileged Linux capabilities and can reach USB, serial or GPIO devices.

## From the README

> 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!
