File Drop

Share files anonymously. No sign-ups. No tracking. No centralized servers.

Ever wanted to send or embed a file without trusting Big Tech? File Drop lets you share images, videos, and any file type through IPFS—a decentralized, peer-to-peer network. Your data stays on your machine and propagates across the network, making it censorship-resistant and always available.

✨ Features

• 🔒 Anonymous – No accounts, no tracking
• 🌐 Decentralized – Powered by IPFS, no central servers
• 📦 Any file type – Images, videos, documents, anything
• 🪶 Lightweight – Minimal resource footprint
• 🔄 Resilient – Files persist across the IPFS network

File Drop is designed for temporary sharing, not permanent storage. Files are cached across IPFS peers but may eventually be garbage-collected. Perfect for sharing on Nostr, forums, or any app that supports IPFS links.
