What we like

Modern file transfer server with SFTP, HTTPS, WebDAV, REST API frontend. Supports various storage backends from S3 to filesystem, CryptFS and SFTP. Virtual folders allow syncing and mapping between backends which can be shared by different users. Web UI for file management.

Tradeoffs

Some features are enterprise only (it’s based on an open core model) e.g. multi-node clustering, automated workflows based on file events, etc.
