Hi ,

Lately, I’ve been working on a small project called deaddrop.space. I’m posting it here because I thought it might be handy to those who care about privacy and control over their data.

It’s a secure, anonymous file-sharing platform built to prioritize privacy, control, and simplicity. Unlike typical services that ask you to sign up, verify emails, or accept endless terms, DeadDrop lets you upload and share files — no accounts, no tracking, no nonsense.

Here’s how it works:

  • You upload a file, set a name, password, expiry date, and max number of downloads.
  • To share it, just provide the recipient with the name and password (or a direct link).
  • Files are encrypted in the browser using AES-256 before they ever leave your device.
  • No raw files or passwords are sent to the server — it’s zero-knowledge encryption.

That means even I, the creator, can’t decrypt or access the files.

BTW, it is open source : https://github.com/Rayid-Ashraf/deaddrop

Would love to hear what you all think — feedback and suggestions are welcome!

    Who are you?

    This sounds really aggressive, he’s tobi_tensei, that must be enough.

    Even a known and respected cryptographer would not release a tool with such confidence

    Why not? Do you know about open source? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_early,_release_often

    First you need to request testing and code review before you announce to people that it is a “secure, anonymous file-sharing platform.”

    I think he’s precisely asking for testing and code review, announcing the intention of the software is not wrong.

    This is not a community for sharing your personal programming projects for feedback

    Why not? It is related to privacy, it can be the seed for bigger projects, the author is sharing the code so you can evaluate and host yourself.

    What a strange way to say “thanks for sharing”.

    So, I’m going to try to say it better:

    Thanks @tobi_tensei for sharing that code in the open source, please don’t stop your initiative for people criticizing, there are more people that likes and are thankful.
