What is OpenFilz?

OpenFilz is an open-source document management system (DMS / ECM) built for organisations that want to keep control of their documents. It runs on your own servers, in your own cloud, or as a dedicated managed instance hosted in Europe.

The Community edition (AGPL-3.0) is free and includes:

  • Virtual folders, versioning, metadata, favourites and recycle bin
  • Full-text search with OCR (OpenSearch + Apache Tika)
  • Collaborative Office editing (OnlyOffice) and viewers for PDF, Office files and images
  • Electronic signature: multi-signer envelopes, templates and a PAdES seal
  • Document workflows: approvals, tasks, due dates and reminders
  • PDF tools: merge, split, rotate and reorganise pages
  • AI document chat with your own model (Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and a built-in MCP server for AI agents
  • Tamper-proof mode (WORM), audit trail and SHA-256 checksums
  • REST and GraphQL APIs, with SDKs for Java, Python, TypeScript and C#

The Enterprise edition adds secure internal and external sharing, comments and notifications, advanced access control, archival e-signatures (PDF/A-2b, trusted seal, timestamping), automated backups, migration connectors (SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, SMB, CMIS), document scanning, outbound webhooks, customer-managed encryption keys and a Windows desktop sync client. Enterprise pricing is per user, billed annually, with a minimum annual contract.

OpenFilz is a sovereign alternative to SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, Alfresco and DocuSign. It is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch and Arabic.
