You can selfhost Bitwarden/Vaultwarden (which I recommend, since it's rewritten in Rust and you get all the premium features for free) and use Bitwarden Send. This is probably more secure than most other options.

Croc has worked nicely for me when I had to transfer very large files. I'll check out Korra next time if "async" means it will start transferring once the first file is hashed. That always annoyed me about Croc and I'd manually break my transfers into chunks because I didn't want to wait 10min before even one file was transferred.
Not really. It's async in the sense that you can send a file now, and the server will hold it in an encrypted state until your recipient comes to collect it.
Ah, so it's not [necessarily] a direct transfer between peers.
Nope. It's definitely not. The idea is just to make it safe(r) to share files within an organisation. The assumption is that for direct P2P sharing you'll want something simpler like Croc.
Since no one mentioned, there's a Firefox send fork alive, send.vis.ee or src GitHub.com/timvisee/send
I guess nextcloud could do it, but you get a whole lot more in the same package.
This is a bit overkill for my purposes...i just need the filesharing part...
No personal experience with it but this project seem to be interesting for your use case and have a docker so it's easy to test:
https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser
Filebrowser is awesome, but I dont think you can share files with non users.
It supports sharing via public link. But I don't think it has sharing with registered users via username.
Dang I didnt know that, my bad...
Yeah, I've used Nextcloud for this in the past too, but it looks like there's a ton of other options as well judging by this thread.
Yeah, sftpgo.com seems to have a nice web frontend for users while also benefitting from all that sftp offers. Free open-source with paid support. https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo
Lufi is exaclly that, demo here: https://lufi.fiat-tux.fr/
Does it offer user registration?
Um, unfortunetly no, sorry.
I think http://www.youtransfer.io is a wettasfer clone. Works perfectly.
Looks like it does not have user registration, does it?
It does not, it’s meant to be single use as far as I know. But the link expiry can be customised
Seafile. I've used it for years, but I'm moving over to nextcloud as I could use other features it provides. They have paid options too, but unless you need LDAP or something more sophisticated for user management the community edition works just fine.
I use Pingvin only thing it does not have is sharing with registered users but it seems that feature has been requested so might be added at some point.
Vault warden Send Pair drop is also neat (an airdrop replacement)
