Share files securely and anonymously

DeadDrop.space is a secure, anonymous file-sharing platform built to prioritize privacy, control, and simplicity. Unlike typical file-sharing services that ask you to sign up, verify emails, or agree to endless terms, DeadDrop lets you upload and share files without any account.
It was created for people who value discretion and want full control over how their files are shared.
🧠 How It Works
DeadDrop takes a different approach. Here's what makes it special:
You upload a file
Give it a custom name (like an ID) and a password (like a decryption key)
The file is encrypted right inside your browser using AES-256 — a military-grade encryption algorithm
The encrypted version of the file is uploaded to the server — but the password is never sent
Share the name + password with someone, and they can access the file from anywhere — but only if they have both
This all happens client-side, in user’s browser, and the password is never stored anywhere. This means only the person who knows both the name and the correct password can access the file.
🧱 Zero-Knowledge Architecture
DeadDrop follows a zero-knowledge design, meaning:
We don’t store your password
We can’t decrypt your files
We don’t log any personal data
Even if someone compromised the server, they’d find only encrypted files with no keys attached — which makes the data unreadable and meaningless to attackers.
⏳ File Expiry & Limits
To give users even more control, DeadDrop lets you:
Set an expiry duration (e.g., 1 day, 7 days, 30 days)
Limit the maximum number of downloads
When either limit is reached, the file is automatically and permanently deleted from our storage — no manual cleanup needed.
This makes DeadDrop ideal for one-time or time-sensitive sharing.
🌍 Who Is It For?
DeadDrop is useful for anyone who wants to share files safely, privately, and without friction:
👩🏫 Teachers sharing class notes, assignments, or answer sheets
🧑💻 Developers sending builds, config files, or access tokens
🕵️ Journalists and whistleblowers sharing sensitive information securely
💼 Freelancers delivering final work to clients without setting up file drives
🤝 Teams who need to pass around credentials, license keys, or one-time files
If you’ve ever hesitated to send a file over email, chat apps, or cloud drives because of privacy concerns, DeadDrop is for you.
🚀 Why It Stands Out
🔐 End-to-end encryption: Strong AES-256 encryption done entirely in the browser
🛡️ Zero-knowledge storage: We literally can’t read your files
🧾 No signups or user data: Completely anonymous usage
🧩 Cross-platform: Works on any modern browser — phone, tablet, or desktop
⏳ Auto-expiry + download limits: Files are deleted when no longer needed
🎯 TL;DR
DeadDrop.space is a fast, free, and secure way to share files — without sacrificing your privacy.
No account.
No ads.
No nonsense.
Just encryption and control.
