Although photos and file storage can now be uploaded to network disks, domestic network disks are still a little different from foreign network disk storage. Take the comparison between Baidu Netdisk and Dropbox as an example. Baidu Netdisk is at best a network hard drive used by individuals to store private photos and files. If it is used for sharing, it can easily be restricted or canceled by Baidu for downloading.
Many personal webmasters choose to build their own storage and download centers for the convenience of sharing. For example, the personal download center ucblog.net built by Dizhanbo is built using the Directory Lister program. As long as there is a PHP environment and no database is needed, Directory Lister can be run. , this procedure is simple but moving is particularly simple, just pack it up and upload it.
Directory Lister was developed by foreigners, so it naturally has many compatibility issues with Chinese. This article will share two out-of-the-box, easy-to-use photo album programs ImgURL and online file manager directory listing program Zdir, developed and maintained by my friend xiaoz.me, which are very suitable for individuals. The webmaster uses it as a picture bed, photo album and file download and sharing.

Here is a way to build OneDrive as an external link. How to use a network disk: OneDrive turns into an external network disk - Aria2+Aria2Ng+OneIndex automatically uploads to OneDrive.

TinyPNG provides an excellent image compression service and provides API support. Ordinary users have a limit of 500 times/month, but ImgURL can fill in multiple TinyPNG KEYs, allowing the API times to be superimposed to compress more images.
Open config.php, fill in your own TinyPNG API key and save it. (Supports asynchronous compression of images, does not affect upload speed), the configuration file example is as follows:
// TinyPNG压缩图片
$tinypng = array(
"option" => true,
"key" => array(
"xxx", //支持填写多行key
"xxx" //如果只有一个key，请删除此行，注意最后一行没有逗号(,)
)
);Modify the upload size. ImgURL photo album program has a default limit of 2M upload size. You can modify the limit through the following methods. Open /functions/upload.php and find the following code:
$handle->file_max_size = '2097152';The unit is bytes, you can modify it yourself. In order to ensure upload stability, it is not recommended to exceed 10M. Continue to open static/embed.js and find the following line to modify.

MarkDown file preview. If it is a MarkDown file (.md), a small eye button will appear behind it. Click this button to preview directly. If the file is named after readme.md, the "Instructions for Use" button will appear. Click it to preview it, as shown in the screenshot below.
Link copy. The copy button will judge based on the file type and finally return different copy results, which is very helpful when building a front-end library, such as:
<!–If the .js file is copied, the returned result is –>
<script src = 'https://libs.xiaoz.top/jquery/2.0.3/jquery-2.0.3.js'>< /script>
<!–If the .css file is copied, the return result is –>
<link rel='stylesheet' href='https://libs.xiaoz.top/layer/skin/layer .css'>
<!–If it is a file such as an image–>
<img src = 'https://libs.xiaoz.top/material/loading/loading0.gif' />
Other files Returns the file URL address.
View file hash. Click the "exclamation mark" button behind the file to calculate the md5 and sha1 values of the file, verify the file hash value, and avoid risks such as operator hijacking.
Image preview. Moving the mouse over the image file will display a preview of the image, as shown in the screenshot below.
File index. If there are too many files, it is inconvenient to search. Zdir has not yet implemented the file search function. However, through the "File Index" function and "Ctrl + F", finding files can be done in minutes. The "File Index" cache time is 24 hours. If you want to clear the cache immediately, please visit cache.php?del=cache.
3. Summary
ImgURL is particularly suitable for image sharing. Both administrators and visitors can directly upload images and share links. It should be pointed out that ImgURL can also set up image pornography detection, image compression, etc. In this case, you need to apply for the API in advance before it can be used normally.
Zdir is somewhat similar to Directory Lister. It only needs PHP to run. The function is simple but very practical, and it is easy to get started. If you want more online file managers, you can check out: Comparison of three excellent online file managers (directory list).
