P2P Encrypted File Sharing (lemmy.ml)

hey. im working on a p2p file sharing app as a kind-of alternative to somthing like GDrive or iCloud to transfer files between computers. its far from finished, but ive got enough to put it up for testing and demo purposes. it would be great if you would like to take a look and share feedback.

the aim is for this is to make it easier to transfer files between your own devices.

(my app-description combined with security-claims typically raises eyebrows, so id like to include a link to a related reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptography/comments/1evdby4/is_this_a_secure_messaging_app)

some pending things to add:

improved connection stability when over the internet.
increased file size capacity (currently limited to around 50MB)
add file-transfer progress indicator (useful for larger payloads).
update all the documentation to make it less technical.

feel free to reach out for clarity.

if i do a good job, it would have comparable features.

the key distinction between mine and other apps like syncthing, is that its provided as a zero-installation, zero-registration webapp.

so its basically ready to use at any point on any device that has a browser.

To be available to anyone anywhere, the webapp has to be hosted, even if it then runs entirely on-device.

Will you host it? Can I host it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

It's a work in progress so it only makes sense for me to host it. I'm actively fixing things.

If you really want to host statics, I could provide the statics as bundle (but the project is still closed source)

Take a look at the hosting options seen on a separate project (in the readme). Those are the selfhosted options that could be available with this depending of how the project develops.
