🚀 Overview

Laravel – Advanced Files & Users Management is a ready-to-deploy web application that turns your Laravel install into a
multi-user file cloud with granular user/role permissions, upload/download controls, and activity logging. Admins can create
users, define which folders they can access, limit allowed file extensions and max upload size, and monitor every action via database logs. Users can upload, preview, download, and even share files privately with a password or publicly via link. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

This script is perfect for small agencies, internal teams, schools, or freelancers who need a secure, self-hosted alternative to public drives — but still want Laravel’s extensibility and a clean Bootstrap-style dashboard. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

✨ Key Features

• 📂 File manager dashboard – upload, organize, rename, delete, and preview files from the browser. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
• 🔐 Private & public sharing – share files protected by password or make them public via shareable URL. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
• 🧑‍💼 Advanced user management – create users, assign roles, and restrict them to specific folders/directories; control allowed extensions and per-user quota. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
• 🗂️ Folder-level permissions – admin can define “where this user can upload” and “what this user can upload.” :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
• 🧾 Activity logging – every user action is stored in DB so admins can audit uploads, deletes, and shares. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
• 🌐 Responsive Laravel UI – works on desktop, tablet, and mobile with a clean admin layout. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
• 🔒 Security-first – Laravel CSRF, auth middleware, and per-user access checks; suitable as a base for intranet file portals. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

⚙️ Technical Stack

• Framework: Laravel (script listings show Laravel-based build, 8.x+ variants appear in 2024–2025 mirrors). :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
• Language: PHP 8.x recommended (7.4+ often supported in earlier releases).
• Database: MySQL / MariaDB.
• Front-end: Blade + Bootstrap + jQuery (for uploads and UI interactions). :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
• Server: Apache or Nginx with mod_rewrite, HTTPS recommended.

Expertise: Because it follows Laravel conventions (migrations, seeders, middleware), any Laravel dev can extend it — for example to integrate S3/Wasabi or to plug in Spatie permissions. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
