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?

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.
