File Drop

File Drop

File Drop is a lightweight, decentralized file sharing application that enables direct transmission between devices based on P2P and IPFS and does not rely on a central server. Through Docker one-click deployment, data is transferred from your device and is targeted for temporary sharing scenarios by default; if you need permanent storage, you can enable pinning in your code. It is recommended that a single file should not exceed 250MB, and environment variables can be used to limit disk consumption to ensure performance and stability.

Description

·Decentralized transmission: Based on P2P and IPFS, devices are directly shared without the need for a central server, avoiding single point of failure and censorship risks. ·Privacy first: Data flows through your computer and nodes and does not rely on third-party storage; by default, it is for temporary sharing rather than long-term hosting. · IPFS persistence: Even if this node goes offline, the content is still available on the IPFS network; if you need to save it permanently, you can turn on pinning (requires a small code change).
