Only a few ones could stand out or in other words were selected by AppNee in dozens of PHP-driven universal file hosting scripts, which include the very popular uCloud (formerly called Cloudable) and the Yetishare (uCloud’s successor) developed by MFScripts from United Kingdom). In this post, we will introduce uCloud first, in another post it will be about Yetishare or Veno File Manager.

uCloud has been one of the best PHP file sharing scripts on the market for a long time. It is suitable for freelancers, small businesses, media agencies, webmasters, development teams to easily implement the task of hosting and sharing their files via Internet. As it turns out, this file hosting script has been enough robust, fast and secure for personal or commercial use. uCloud provides a variety of features for setting up a powerful file hosting website. This includes: responsive file manager (built with the popular Bootstrap framework), multi-file upload option, drag & drop operation, direct viewing capability for images, stream videos, and documents, social sharing function, in-depth admin area, and much more.

With uCloud, you can build up your own file hosting website with just a few mouse clicks and a few minutes, without having to hare expensive web developer/programmer to make it for you, or creating it from scratch on your own. Finally, although the update frequency of uCloud may be a long period, you can continue to develop and customize it independently and to your liking. After all, you can get uCloud’s full source code from AppNee now.
