Subfolio — Private Beta

Subfolio provides an elegant, practical and customizable web interface to your file system. Super fast to set-up and use, you’ll be up and running in minutes. Flexible and feature-rich, you’ll soon be inventing new ways to use it.

Subfolio is made for creative types to share their work online with speed and elegance — publicly or privately. It’s good for freelancers, studios, agencies, enterprise or even the classroom.

Subfolio is a lightweight PHP5 file browser app that installs on your own server. No database or content management needed. And for you geeks out there, it’s extensible too.

Subfolio was created by AREA 17, an interactive agency in New York City and Paris, France. The application (originally called Filebrowser) was first developed in 2003 to help deliver designs and documents to clients. When the agency went international in 2006, it became the cross-office document server too.

Up until recently, AREA 17 also used Subfolio for their website. It was an assertion that the agency’s work — not some fancy website — was the focal-point. Today AREA 17 no longer uses Subfolio for their main website, however it is still used as their cross-office document server and of course the client studio too (their clients would hang them if they stopped).
