Sambee enables organizations and individuals to provide access to internal file resources from any device with a browser. Sambee replaces legacy tools like Windows File Explorer with a secure browser-based workspace from which to view and manage files on SMB shares and local drives.
SMB shares are accessed through Sambee's Docker-based backend, which translates between HTTP(S), which your browser understands, and SMB, which a file server understands. Local drive access is provided by Sambee Companion, a helper app that can be installed on your computer and acts as a small service your browser can talk to.
All of this means that Sambee brings your files and folders into the browser and makes them accessible from your phone in much the same way as from your PC or Mac.
Sambee is more than a file manager. It is built for speed and includes a fast image browser with broad file type support, a Markdown editor, and a PDF viewer. All of these work directly in the browser and do not require additional software, except Companion for local-drive access.
Sambee also bridges the gap between the browser and the apps installed on your computer. It lets you open a file in its traditional desktop app directly from the browser. In other words, you can open Word, Excel, or Photoshop files in their respective native apps. When you are done editing, your changes are uploaded back to the original storage location, such as a file share. All of this happens through a smooth, browser-based workflow.
Use the GitHub issue forms for bug reports and feature requests.
- Search for an existing issue first.
- Include logs and environment details for Companion, SMB, deployment, or browser-specific problems.
- Check the troubleshooting and support reference docs before filing environment-specific bugs.
Contributions are welcome. Read the contribution guidelines for the development, validation, documentation, and pull-request workflow. All project participation is subject to the Code of Conduct.
