Replace File Browser now that it’s archived

It looks like File Browser has officially been archived. From their repo:

File Browser is archived on 2026-09-01. The last planned release has already shipped. There will be no further releases, bug fixes, or security fixes.

https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser

Given that there won’t be any future security fixes, I’m not very comfortable continuing to run it, especially since File Browser is exposed publicly. With the security landscape evolving as quickly as it is, particularly with AI making vulnerability discovery and exploitation easier, I think it would make sense for Ultra.cc to consider removing or deprecating File Browser and offering a maintained alternative for the same use case.

A few potential replacements I came across:

1. File browser quantum - A fork of File Browser that is actively maintained and includes a number of enhancements, including ongoing security fixes. This seems like it could potentially be the easiest replacement for existing File Browser users.

2. NextExplorer - Another modern web-based file manager.

3. Filestash - A more established web-based file manager with support for a variety of storage backends.
