Files Hub is a self-hosted Laravel 12 platform with a Laravel Nova admin panel that consolidates the backend services developers usually rent from a dozen vendors — file storage, transactional email, image and document processing, link tooling, and a deep developer-utility catalog — into one product behind a single API key. It exposes 72 features across 181 versioned REST endpoints, authenticates with per-key permissions (can_read, can_write, can_send_emails, restricted) and rate limiting, and stores objects with predictable public visibility so consuming apps read them client-side without signed-URL gymnastics. Most tellingly, it is dogfooded: an entire portfolio of products sends its uploads to Files Hub instead of paid Firebase Storage. It ships an AEO-first layer (llms.txt, pricing.md, JSON-LD, AI-bot allowlist) and a fuzzy-searchable discovery surface (sitemap, blog, RSS), with multi-provider transactional email (Gmail SMTP, Brevo, Mailtrap) to avoid vendor lock-in.
