File0 – An easier way to manage files in serverless apps
Cmon... I just want to upload a file and make it public on the internet. Now you tell me I need to master bucket policies, ACL, CORS, multipart uploads, content headers, CDN, presigned URLs, and a bunch of other crap? I can't be asked, so I built FILE0. It's for storing files but you don't need to complete an online course.

In plain words
File0 is a file management tool designed for serverless applications that simplifies uploading and publishing files to the internet. It eliminates the need to configure complex cloud storage settings like bucket policies, ACLs, CORS, and CDN management. The product targets developers who want straightforward file storage without learning advanced cloud infrastructure concepts. It handles the technical complexity behind the scenes, allowing users to focus on their core application rather than mastering multiple configuration systems.

I do think the storage "space" could use some disruption. I use s3 every day at work, and my general feeling is that the entire permission system is more complicated than 99% of apps actually need, to the point of being dangerous; I've come to think the UX requirements of enterprise and indie dev / start up customers are fundamentally incompatible in the cloud. As somebody who's spent over a decade making interactions with filesystem easier, I really understand why somebody would be tired. I remembered when S3 was simple and just works. Now the default set up flow is advanced enterprise secure webfrom file0.dev
