    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.

    Early in April I needed to print some tax forms at the library, first time in forever, and I began to wonder: what's the easiest way to get a file onto a public computer? There are many ways, but most of them involve creating an account somewhere or plugging in a thumb-drive. I use a password manager, so my passwords are long and complicated, not easily typed. I don't want to plug anything into a public computer, nor do I fancy uploading my taxes to some random website. I thought about what a helpful product would looks like, and in about an hour I spun up the first version,…

    I 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'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…

    Hey HN, I’m Ilias, 19, from Paris. I built Ellipticc Drive, an open-source cloud drive with true end-to-end encryption and post-quantum security, designed to be Dropbox-like in UX but with zero access to your data, even by the host. What’s unique: Free 10GB for every user, forever. Open-source frontend (audit or self-host if you want) Tech stack: Frontend: Next.js Crypto: WebCrypto (hashing) + Noble (core primitives) Encryption: XChaCha20-Poly1305 (file chunks) Key wrapping: Kyber (ML-KEM768) Signing: Ed25519 + Dilithium2 (ML-DSA65) Key derivation: Argon2id → Master Key → encrypts all…
