Share files with people you trust, and not all the cloud providers in between. Cryptsend encrypts your data on the client so no server ever sees it. Only people you send your secure web link to can access the data (so be careful with the link of course).
Before you start, make sure you have docker and docker-compose installed on your machine
- Grab the repo
git clone [email protected]:countable-web/cryptsend.git
- Run docker setup
docker-compose up
Your site should now be running at 0.0.0.0:1234
Send files anywhere -> anywhere securely
The concept is that it's 2018 and there's no really good general purpose file sharing tool.
| Feature | WeTransfer etc. | FTP | CryptSend | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| open source | no | yes | some | yes |
| trustless client encryption | no | no | no | yes |
| self host | no | some | some | yes |
| web interface | yes | some | some | yes |
| secure link / no auth | no | no | no | yes |
| works with big files | some | yes | no | yes |
| dependency free (javascript) | yes | some | no | yes |
This would be useful for any transmission of sensitive data you don't want a trail of in emails, or for files too big for email. The closest thing I've found to this service is things like wetransfer.com but they only fill some of the above bullets.
We manage issues and features in Trello, not the GitHub issues.
