I think you should check out ownCloud, I've been using it for quite some time now and it's great. It meets your requirements of,

• Very powerful Admin Dashboard
• User Management
• Users can upload their own files and/or folders
• Users can share their own files and/or folders with other users and/or the world (through the use of links)

ownCloud (Open Source)

ownCloud gives you web services under your control. It is a self-hosted open source platform with file sync & sharing at its core and available clients for desktop and mobile. The web frontend has apps for Pictures, Calendar, Contacts, News/RSS, Bookmarks, Notes, Music and much more via an open app platform! ownCloud Server can be installed on Windows and Linux operating systems, and is available via packages, sources, or a one file php installer.
