Its also worth noting that the service skips end-to-end encryption “to improve speed and compatibility across browsers”, … according to MEGA, files stay encrypted while stored and are only decrypted temporarily in server memory … this model may not meet the needs of users who require strict zero-access encryption.
Oof
Also only free until next year
There’s enough front page politics right now about conservatives all being and protecting child rapists, that I missed the title as “MAGA launches file host with no limits”
I keep seeing posts about wetransfer alternatives and so far haven’t seen wormhole.app mentioned. Does it have bad juju I don’t know about?
We built Wormhole with end-to-end encryption. When you use Wormhole, a key is generated on your device and used to encrypt your files. In transit, your data is unreadable to Wormhole and service providers like your ISP. The key never leaves your device and you’re the only one who has it – unless you decide to share it. With Wormhole, you’re in control of who has access to your files.
When you share a Wormhole link, the key is automatically included in the link so it’s easy to share with the exact people you want, and no one else. Wormhole never sees the key. And we don’t want to see it.
Every design decision in Wormhole begins with the safety and privacy of your data in mind. We can’t read your files, and no one else can either. Privacy isn’t an optional mode — it’s just the way that Wormhole works.
“One for your friend. And one copy for the state. Thanks :)”
“no file size limit” sounds like a challenge…
It’s pointless; you can have both sides download PeaZip (which, FYI, is superior to 7-Zip because it’s cross-platform instead of being Windows-only) and run part splicers; easy workaround. This only adds to the problem of yet another non-E2E service in the running.
Don’t tempt me with 10tb of /dev/urandom
1s take longer than 0s to xfer, so they must be roomier.
Is it because the 1s get stuck in the bends in the pipe, but the nice round 0s can get around the corners more easily?
