In plain words
ZeroDrive is a browser-based file encryption tool that lets users upload encrypted files directly to their own Google Drive storage. Files are encrypted in the browser before being sent, meaning the encryption happens on the user's device rather than on external servers. The tool is open-source and designed for developers and users who want to add an extra layer of privacy to files stored on Google Drive.

From the sources
ZeroDrive adds browser-based encryption on top of Google Drive. Protect files before upload, share encrypted copies, and keep recovery access under your control.
Sharing works the same way: your browser encrypts the shared copy before upload, then locks it with the recipient’s public sharing key . The server can help route the encrypted share, but the share record does not store a sender user ID, sender email, or plaintext recipient email. The recipient’s browser uses their private key to unlock the file. Your 12-word recovery phrase is what recreates the private keys this browser needs to open your encrypted files and restore encrypted key backups on another device. It is never sent to the ZeroDrive server and cannot be reset. The hosted app may retain it only in the current tab’s browser session so a reload stays unlocked; you should still save…from zerodrive.xyz

Would like to hear your thoughts on this proof of concept.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
