Two accounts reach the same reset with opposite needs, and it answered both by writing a hash and hoping. A provider account is asked for something it cannot do. The Connected accounts screen refuses to release an account's last provider -- "Set a password first, then disconnect Google" -- and nothing set auth_source back to Local, so the screen went on asking for what had just been done, with no way out from inside the application. AuthSource already states the rule that closes it, for this case by name: a social account may later set a real password, and social only means the account came into existence without anybody choosing one. A reset by emailed token is where somebody chooses one, and the prop the screen reads is literally auth_source === Local under the name has_local_password. A directory account is told something untrue. isDirectoryAccount() means the local hash is not consulted at all, so the same reset wrote a password that could never sign anybody in and reported success -- including when the directory it points at is gone, which is exactly the situation that sends somebody to a reset. The reset now asks where the account's credentials live. social becomes Local, because the new password is the credential now. A directory account is refused, with the reason, and nothing about it moves -- writing Local there would not record something that had happened, it would take the account off its directory as a side effect of a password reset, which is an administrator's decision and already lives in AccountConversion with the password requirement and activity entry that belong to it. Everything else is byte for byte as before. Verified before merging: 20 passed on the trial-merge, 2 failed / 18 passed with app/ reset, and the wider suites green -- tests/Feature/Auth 96 passed, tests/Feature/Identity 302 passed. Four properties were checked in the framework rather than argued. PasswordBroker::reset() calls validateReset() before the callback, so the refusal only reaches somebody holding a token emailed to that address and nothing is enumerable. It deletes the token after the callback, so a throw leaves the link usable. Every use of AuthSource::Local is in ConnectedAccountsController -- the has_local_password prop and the last-provider guard -- so the social-to-Local flip grants exactly the ability the screen instructs the user to obtain and nothing else, and no new login capability at all, since password login already worked for social accounts. And the check is isDirectoryAccount() rather than an auth_source comparison because LDAP is client-only, so staff are not refused; the test for that is green either way. One new string is English only for now: "This account signs in through your directory, so its password is not set here." Reported and fixed by @denkfabrik-li.
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.
