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

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?

See LICENSE.md

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.
