What about robotics?

“C’mon, Chinese govt lifted 800 million people out of extreme poverty. Took the country from one of the poorest in a world to a world power. All this in just 4 decades and you expect the people to hate the govt.”

Thanks! The pricing is very affordable. Will definitely consider it for increasing the size limit

Thank you so much for testing it out and taking the time to open the issues, really appreciate the feedback! I’ll take a look and work on them soon.

The person submitting the report would need to provide the file name and password.

Well, DeadDrop uses name + password modal as well as direct link.

If you are referring to DMCA (should have directly mentioned it), then NO, this content is not gonna be allowed. Those files will be permanently deleted once it is reported.

Yes, once there’s enough traffic, I plan to add an option for sharing larger files. The cost will depend on the file size.

Can you please clarify what do you mean by YCMA?

Well, DeadDrop is still in its early stages of development and right now deaddrop is focused on sharing sensitive images and documents. Moreover, I don’t have money to pay the bills but will increase the size limit once the site gets good traffic. However, I can provide you upto 100 MB for free, DM me.

Yes, fork the code from github and host it on your own server.

Thanks for the detailed and thoughtful reply — I really appreciate the time you took to lay this out.

I know Aaron Swartz — big fan.

You’re right about many of these points. The biggest challenge with any web-based cryptography project is trust in code delivery, especially when it’s dynamically served. That’s a fundamental limitation of browser-delivered JavaScript, and I fully acknowledge it.

You’re also absolutely right that true zero-knowledge isn’t just about encryption — it’s about removing trust assumptions. The server still being able to serve malicious JS is a valid and well-known concern. That’s why I’ve made the code open-source and encourage self-hosting for anyone who doesn’t trust DeadDrop or me.

To clarify a few things:

-No JavaScript is sent after the file metadata is submitted — only the encrypted metadata and the file are transferred after the password is verified locally. I’m also planning to encrypt metadata (including filenames) to limit what the server can see.

-DeadDrop uses salted encryption. I’m using a proper key derivation function (PBKDF2) with a salt, which makes brute-force attacks significantly harder.

You’re right that unless users host the project themselves, they have to trust me — just like users of Signal technically have to trust their app stores and client builds. So, trust is a fundamental principal for a service like this and I promise the code that is delivered on the browser is same as on the github. However, if you don’t trust my instance, you can review, fork, and self-host it easily.

I’m not claiming DeadDrop is flawless — just that it’s a sincere attempt to build a privacy-first, zero-knowledge file-sharing tool. I am truly grateful for your feedback, thanks again.

( Yeah, worked with VPN ). This website is great but very different from deaddrop

is this only me

Fair point — I should’ve been more careful with the wording. I’ve open-sourced the code exactly so that people can audit, test, and critique it. I don’t expect blind trust, and I’m not claiming it’s perfect, just that I built it with privacy in mind.

If you have concerns, I’d genuinely appreciate feedback or a review. My goal is to improve it, not just promote it

It is a P2P service. While as Deaddrop is like a cloud storage to temporarily save and share a file

Sorry about that — I recently open-sourced it and forgot to add the link. I’ll update it as soon as possible!
