[Freedombox-discuss] FreedomBox as file server?

[Joseph Nuthalapati]

Kevin,

Congrats on setting up your FreedomBox.

If you're on FreedomBox testing/buster, there's an app called Sharing,
which can be used to serve files from a directory using the Apache web
server. Access restrictions to the directories are based on LDAP user
groups.
