ProjectSend is a self-hosted secure file sharing platform built as a modular Laravel application with an Inertia.js + React frontend. The codebase is organized into domain modules — Files, Clients, Groups, Identity, Comments, Notifications, Audit, Platform, and Api — each containing controllers, services, policies, models, and event hooks. Staff members upload and share files with clients or groups, manage roles and permissions, enforce download limits, expire or version files, and monitor activity through a detailed audit log. Clients access their own portal with four switchable themes (default, compact, drive, gallery), and public share links support additional presentation themes with pagination, previews, and controlled downloads. The application is a monolith with strong modular boundaries rather than microservices. Authentication supports local accounts, LDAP, social login/SSO via OIDC, two-factor authentication, CAPTCHA, and password policies. A REST API protected by Sanctum tokens offers scoped abilities, RFC 7807 problem details, polling-based pagination, and an OpenAPI contract that is drift-tested against the live route surface. Background jobs handle zip downloads, email digests, thumbnails, file cleanup, and scheduled maintenance. The system persists settings, activity logs, notification preferences, and upload metadata in a relational database, while file payloads can be stored on local disks, S3-compatible storage, or Google Cloud Storage. The code is notably security-conscious: secrets are encrypted at rest, old input flashing excludes credentials, CSRF cookie naming is customized to avoid collisions, download paths are never exposed in API responses, and regression tests cover disclosure boundaries, permission scoping, token revocation, and account erasure. The test suite is extensive, using Pest feature tests to exercise permissions, file lifecycle edge cases, version chains, comment visibility, API contracts, and authentication flows. The architecture favors event-based extension points and registry patterns, making modules independently testable and partially reusable, though the project remains an application rather than a framework or library. Overall this is a well-crafted, actively maintained application with clean engineering practices, clear separation of concerns, and unusually thorough security regression coverage. Its main complexity is the large surface area of interchangeable themes, editions, authentication backends, and storage drivers, which creates some ongoing drift risk, but current CI, recent commits, and dependency management show the project is keeping pace with its ecosystem.
