Hello, there is currently no end-to-end encryption on the server I’ll explain why below. The reasons why

True end-to-end encryption (where I literally can't read your files) means the server only ever sees encrypted blobs. The problem is, that also means I can't scan anything, and right now every upload is checked against known CSAM and run through malware scanning.

Go fully zero-knowledge and I lose that capability entirely, which on an anonymous host is a real problem it basically turns into a blind dropbox for whatever people want to put there.

So it’s genuinely one or the other either I can see enough of the content to keep it clean, or I can’t see it at all and can’t keep it clean. I chose to keep it scannable, because for an open anonymous service, I think being able to block that kind of content is more important.

That’s the real reason there’s no at-rest encryption not laziness it would compromise security. I’m open to hearing how you’d weigh the pros and cons, though.

My original plan was to launch the site and upload the entire source code so people could use it locally (I’ve fallen a bit behind because I’ve been adding features), but I’ll be uploading the full source code soon.

That said, everything is verifiable (regarding ads and trackers). Thank you very much for the comment!

Yes, that's great I agree with you. But I preferred to do something with a slightly improved UI (if I may say so)

Made a small file host focused on not leaving a trace.

  • No account, no ads, no trackers
  • You set when the file deletes itself (1 hour to 30 days, or after X downloads)
  • Optional password on files and notes
  • Reachable over Tor via an onion service
  • Self-hosted

For when you just need to hand someone a file without it sitting on a server forever or asking them to sign up anywhere.
