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.

Fibre AI▲126Hi HN! We're introducing Fibre - secure file uploads for Intercom. Fibre came out of a real pain point we hit using Intercom for support. We needed customers to upload sensitive docs all the time - proof of address, ID verification, business documents etc. However, customers kept pushing back - they didn't feel comfortable sending sensitive files to Intercom.
