This is awesome and I've been looking for something like this since Firefox Send disappeared. One question, is it possible to manually delete files after they've been downloaded or set a download limit?

?makers Do you intend to provide an API for website integration allowing users to send encrypted files to the site owner?

@dick_van_gelder1 That's an interesting use case. Could you send me an email (my first name AT my first name DOT org) with more information about what you'd like us to build for this use case?

You've done a good job! But, in my opinion: These kind of "fair tools" should be open source. How to be sure my files are encrypted if I don't know what code I use? On top of that, the frontend should be deployed on IPFS to guarantee code/app.

@paco_pac1 I totally understand your perspective. Auditing a web app is always a challenging prospect. We want to do more to re-assure users with concerns similar to yours. We're going to open source the cryptography code and explore building other types of client frontends, including potentially a CLI client, so you can be more sure that the code hasn't changed out from under you when using Wormhole.

I downloaded the app with Chrome, and for some reason it looks like the app is part of Chrome. (The menu bar has the little extensions puzzle piece.) Is the app a browser app? Or is it standalone? My CPU goes to 100% for a few seconds when I drop files in there, so I guess that's the app encrypting the files locally?

@darren_t_jansen It's a web app that you can install through Chrome - known as a "progressive web app" or PWA. It should integrate quite nicely with your operating system – should appear when you Control+Tab or Command+Tab (on Mac), and appear in the Start Menu or Dock (on Mac). All files are encrypted locally with a secret that is known only to you. The server has no way of seeing your files.

Hi, I'm not sure tu understand : Is it a wetransfer-like or a peer-to-peer service ? If it's like wetransfer, how do you pay your servers ?

@sebastien_domine It's like WeTransfer. We'll securely host your files and make sure the link works for 24 hours. However, to increase speed of transfer, we might also use P2P transfer if you and the recipient have the app open at the same time. We're planning to introduce a Pro plan for larger file limits and explore an enterprise version for organizations that have high security requirements (law firms, etc.) that can't use existing cloud storage providers.

Hey @feross Great product.. congrats! By P2P do you mean that other nodes(users) will also be used to transfer the file or is it directly going to the user who has the link? Does the speed of download /upload depend on the nodes(users) currently active? Also, I noticed that files above 5 gb will be stored on your server is it?

@parikshith_rai Data goes directly between the sender and the receiver. The download speed depends on how many people are sharing at the same time - we use WebTorrent under the hood, so even downloaders can help share file pieces with other downloaders. For files up to 5 GB, Wormhole stores your files on our servers for 24 hours. For files larger than 5 GB, Wormhole uses peer-to-peer transfer to send your files directly from your browser to the recipient. So you'll need to keep the page open until the recipient downloads the files.
