24 alternatives to aero.zip - E2EE resumable file transfer, not P2P, 100 GB, OPAQUE auth
Hey HN! I'm Linas, and here's my take on XKCD 949. I've created a file sending/sharing website (think WeTransfer) which I believe is unique in several ways: * End-to-end encrypted * Recipients can start their download anytime, i.e. it's not P2P WebRTC-based thing like FilePizza * (Effectively) no limit on the size of the uploaded data, i.e. it will encrypt/decrypt 100 GB just fine * (Effectively) no limit the number of files that get sent * Real-time transfers, i.e. recipients can start downloading their files even before you finish uploading them * Resumable uploads/downloads…

Hi HN, I'm building ThirdCloud with the goal to replace Google Drive for everyone: more private, cheaper & maybe better UI/UX. So far, I've successfully implemented the main feature, which involves uploading and downloading files. Files are encrypted before being sent to IPFS network. Would like to hear your thoughts on this proof of concept.

Hirosend▲90I built Hirosend because I needed a fast and secure way to send files to clients without asking them to create accounts or navigate permission screens. Dropbox/Drive were too heavy for one-off transfers, WeTransfer felt clunky for quick sends, and I really missed the simplicity Firefox Send had before it shut down. Hirosend lets you upload a file, set expiration, add an optional password, or generate a one-time magic link. Recipients just click and download — no signup required on their side. Files are encrypted before being stored and automatically deleted after expiration. There are…

Hey HN, I built this to scratch an itch I had around what can be done solely using the URL. It's very minimal with no storage involved, and your files can even be encrypted. The only caveat is some platforms wont allow you to post long links. I thought about using a URL shortener, but storing and mapping URLs kind of defeats the purpose. However most browsers do allow you to open them once you have them. For instance I was able to "share" a 10MB file using safari, however 350KB seems to be the max for Chrome.
