Stuff that will be added soon:

• END TO END ENCRYPTION!!!
• Only public keys sent, files encrypted in chunks.
• Minified and self-hosted libraries (no more <script> and <link> tags)
• Support for pasting images (Control + V)

FAQ

(Not actually asked frequently, this is just stuff that people may ask if they ever see this project and are interested in it 😩)

Why should I use this over other services?

• This doesn't track you, it's easy, you can share between platforms (Airdrop only works on macs & iPhones 💻).
• Most other services track you somehow.
• OnDrop encrypts files end to end, this means that nobody but whoever you send your files can decrypt it! This includes the server itself! Even I can't see what files people are sending. This uses RSA encryption.

How does OnDrop work?

OnDrop uses your IP address to put you into a room using socket.io. To send files in realtime it sends the file as a blob to a certain person. This file is then received by that person. All connections are hidden from IP addresses outside of the current group. To view the full code that I wrote see index.js.

Does OnDrop track you?

Absolutely not! All files are deleted after 5 minutes, and whenever I run the server. IP addresses are not tracked in any way, they are only used as a grouping tool to group people together.

How'd you get that epic name?

Wowww, I love those shadows and stuff you did

Thanks! That's a style called neomorphism, which is a super cool way to make stuff look realistic and pleasant using CSS.

All these other people you show are contacting you on discord and I feel left out

--Explosion--#6807 is my Discord tag 😄

How did you come up with this idea?

Came to me when I realized that multiple people can have the same IP address, therefore it'd be possible to group them and figure out who's near whom.

Can I use your code?

Tips and tricks!

• You can click on a user to share a file with them.
• You can create a unique link to share with someone if they don't live nearby or aren't on the same wifi network by using the ip query parameter, (like this: https://ondrop.dev/?ip=test, now if the person you send it to goes to that link you'll be able to connect)
• You can paste anything and it'll upload it to everyone, an image, some text, etc!
• You can drag and drop not just files, but images and text from webpages as well!
• Installable as a PWA!
• Add ?dev=true to the URL to send errors and logs to the server and view them at /errors/${ip_hash_here}
  • Errors are not recorded for users without dev mode on.
