About Dropfile
A temporary path between two browsers.
Dropfile is built for the moment when a file needs to reach someone else without first becoming a permanent cloud upload.
Why Dropfile exists
Traditional file hosts ask the sender to upload a complete copy, wait for processing, and trust a storage provider to keep it until deletion. Dropfile takes a different approach: the sender keeps the original file and their browser sends it only while a live share is open.
What the service does
Dropfile creates an expiring link, checks the downloader with Cloudflare Turnstile and a password, then coordinates a WebRTC connection between participating browsers. Small coordination records help peers find each other; the selected file bytes are not placed in Dropfile's storage bucket.
What it does not promise
Dropfile is not a backup service, permanent archive, guaranteed delivery network, or anonymity product. Transfers depend on compatible browsers, available disk space, network policies, upload speed, and every required browser remaining online.
The principles behind it
The product is designed around short-lived access, visible choices, minimal recipient friction, and honest limitations.
- No recipient account is required.
- Senders choose one-person or multi-download sharing.
- New downloads stop after the chosen availability window.
- Illegal and abusive sharing is prohibited.
