Django Filebrowser #

Overview #

Django is big framework. It has very useful features, such as, built-in administration, database migration, site management, content type management and others. Some Django projects may need to have file-manager for managing static files on server side. Unfortunately, Django does not provide file-manager for uploaded or statically served files by default. For this purpose, there had been several open-source projects to fulfill this empty place.

One of the actively developing open-source project is django-filebrowser. It has been developing by Patrick Kranzlmueller, who is the author of famous django-grapelli package. It is more decent and stable version among the other file-managers. It also has full documentation.
