Web loginBrowser previewRole permissionsDesktop / Linux service
Use it to expose one controlled LAN folder for packages, logs, reports, and field materials.
Provides login, browser preview, roles, upload/download, file actions, and service deployment.
Use it in controlled LAN or VPN environments for file exchange rather than SCADA data management.
Path
Product Usage Path
Start with the task at hand, then review installation, configuration, usage, and acceptance details for this product.
Expose one controlled folder on the local network.
Separate manager, operator, and read-only permissions.
Confirm content in the browser, then upload, download, rename, or collect materials by role.
Positioning
When to use HQShare
Use HQShare independently whenever a project needs LAN document previews, distribution, or collection during preparation, delivery, or routine maintenance.
Users can only browse and operate within the configured root folder.
Use desktop mode for short-term sharing and service mode for long-running deployments.
Preview, download, upload, rename, and delete activity is written to runtime logs.
Capabilities
Core capabilities
Review materials and exchange files from one LAN page with lightweight deployment and clear permission boundaries.
Manager, operator, and read-only visitor roles control list, download, upload, rename, delete, and user management permissions.
View images, PDFs, text / code, Markdown, CSV / TSV, audio, and browser-supported video before downloading. Office files still open after download.
Downloads stream file content with size and attachment headers; uploads enforce size limits and sanitized file names.
The startup flow detects occupied ports and suggests an available one with a clear status message.
Run sharing from the Windows desktop, add a Windows context-menu shortcut, or deploy with Linux systemd.
Interface examples
Web and desktop service views
Shows the web login and desktop service configuration for browser access and local service startup.

Use the desktop app to configure the share folder, port, service state, and common maintenance entries.
Support
Platforms and boundaries
Use HQShare for controlled LAN file exchange, with network exposure and shared-folder scope clearly limited.
Windows desktop operation
Use the single EXE on Windows to choose a folder, port, system tray behavior, and current-user startup.
Linux service
Run under a dedicated system user through systemd, with the shared folder, port, and bind address in an environment file.
Network boundary
Bind to an internal address or controlled segment, and pair with firewall/VPN rules when needed.
Download entry
Production package links follow the latest information on the downloads page, including product, platform, version notes, and access method.
Typical Use
Application scenarios
Useful for short- and medium-term material review and file exchange in controlled site networks.
Delivery package sharing
Publish installers, patch packages, manuals, and acceptance documents from one local folder.
Preview and confirm materials
Review PDFs, images, logs, Markdown, or CSV content in the browser before downloading.
Log and visual-record collection
Let operators upload logs, visual records, and reports for later engineering review.
LAN collaboration
