FileVersions::link() resolves its audience before the merge, and its own comment says the ordering is the whole dedupe: these are the people who could already see both files, so anyone the merge is about to reach for the first time is excluded and gets file_shared from FileSharing::assign() instead. The merge then undid it. moveAssignmentsToRoot() handed every one of the revision's targets to assign() under the comment "firstOrCreate inside, so a target the root already has is a no-op rather than a duplicate notification" -- but firstOrCreate makes the assignment row idempotent, not the three side effects below it. The activity entry, the in-app notification and the digest all ran unconditionally, so a client who already held both files was told a file had been shared with them about a file they had had all along, on top of the file_new_version they were owed. Two notifications for one action, for exactly the people the early resolve exists to protect. A target the root already holds is now skipped rather than handed to assign(). Nobody is gaining access in that case, so the activity entry would have been as untrue as the notification -- which is the rule copyAssignmentsFrom() states outright for its own case, and why it inserts directly instead of going through FileSharing. The two stale comments are corrected with it. Deliberately not changed: assign() itself, and so the behaviour ShareNotificationsTest pins, where re-posting an existing assignment through the share endpoint still notifies again. That test says the condition for changing it -- it should stop for files and folders at once, which is the point of them sharing one implementation -- and a version merge is not somebody choosing to share again. Verified before merging: 10 passed on the trial-merge, 2 failed / 8 passed with app/ reset, and the whole tests/Feature/Files directory at 548 passed. The case where somebody genuinely gains the root still gets file_shared is green either way, which guards against skipping too much. The method was read whole rather than just the hunk: $file->assignments()->delete() still runs for a skipped target, so no row is left dangling and nobody loses reach.

ProjectSend
Share files with your clients, from your own server.
ProjectSend is a self-hosted application for getting files to the people you work with. You upload what you want to send, choose exactly who can see it, and each client signs in to their own private page to download it.
No public link passed around by email, no third-party service holding your clients' documents, no per-seat pricing. It runs on your server, and the files stay there.
What it does
For the people you send to
- A private area per client, showing only what has been shared with them
- Sign in with an email address, with optional two-factor authentication
- Search, filter and sort their files; download one, several as a zip, or a whole folder
- Optional comments on a file, so questions live next to the thing they are about
- Email notifications when something new arrives, in their own language
For you
- Resumable uploads that survive a dropped connection, so large files actually arrive
- Organise with folders, categories and client groups
- Share with one client, a whole group, or publicly — and set an expiry date or a download limit
- Thumbnails and previews for images and documents
- Storage quotas per client, and custom fields for the details you need to keep on them
- A full activity log and download history: who got what, and when
For the installation
- Roles and permissions for your own team, so an uploader is not an administrator
- Sign-in the way you already work: LDAP, social sign-in, or plain email and password
- Themes for the client-facing pages and for outgoing email
- 16 languages
- A REST API with scoped tokens and generated OpenAPI docs
- Privacy controls, including GDPR-grade account erasure with a grace period
- Local disk, S3-compatible storage, or Google Cloud Storage
Screenshots
The dashboard — what is in the installation, and what has been happening in it.
Your library — folders, categories, and who each file is shared with.
What your client sees — only their files, nothing else.
Getting started
With Docker — the quickest path, and the one we recommend. Nothing to build: the published image ships with its dependencies and its frontend already compiled.
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectsend/projectsend/main/docker/production/compose.example.yaml
# edit the passwords and APP_URL in it, then:
docker compose -f compose.example.yaml up -d
Open APP_URL and the first thing you see is a setup screen that creates your administrator
account — or uncomment ADMIN_EMAIL and ADMIN_PASSWORD in the file first, with a password of
your own, and it is created for you.
Before you put real files in it, read DOCKER.md — where your database and uploads actually live, how to move them onto paths you chose, and how to back them up so an upgrade can't take them with it.
Without Docker — for servers where it isn't an option, install from a release zip.
INSTALL.md covers requirements, .env, nginx, the background worker and cron,
updating and troubleshooting. You do not need Composer or npm on the server; the zip ships ready to
run.
Already running it? UPDATE.md is how you move to a new version — one command on Docker, one script on your own server, and what to check afterwards either way.
Want to work on ProjectSend itself? Cloning the repository gets you a development copy, not an installation: the dependencies and the compiled frontend are deliberately not in git, so a clone needs Composer and npm before it runs. CONTRIBUTING.md has the sequence, and it is short.
Coming from ProjectSend Legacy?
The previous generation of ProjectSend lives on at projectsend/legacy. This is a rebuild rather than an upgrade, so moving across is an import rather than an update — install fresh, then bring your old site into it with the migration tool: accounts, clients, groups, categories, folders, files and history.
It never writes to your old install, and any run can be undone with a single command. MIGRATING-FROM-V1.md explains what comes across, the two routes (same machine, or a portable export from a server you can't reach), and the one change your clients will notice: they sign in with their email address now, using the same password.
