WebFront for sharing diskspace

Question

I just set up an Ubuntu server with 4 TB of Raid 5 space and a public IP, and I would like to share it with my family and friends.

Is there any easy Web Frontend, with authentication and quotas, to allow my users to use the space via a simple web interface?

Please do not cross-post questions on multiple SE sites in the future. Choose which site it is most appropriate for and ask it there. Thanks. — nhinkle, Nov 14 '11 at 21:56

Have you looked at OWL? As with any of this kind of thing, you'll want to so some testing and possibly hardening, since you'll be publishing this online directly.

EDIT: Open source options:

Does it have to be a web gui interface? If not, then webdav (described as "web folders" in windows) may be the best option as your server appears as a normal folder in explorer.

To add the folder, it is as easy as going to Computer, right-click in empty space, New Network Location and going through the wizard.

On your side, this should help get webdav up and running.
