A WeTransfer alternative that's simple & privacy first
SafeFiles is a WebRTC infused file sharing platform that allows users to share files with each other in real-time. The traffic and all exchange is secure once via E2EE (End-to-End Encryption) using ECDH (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman) key exchange, and then using the DTLS protocol provided by WebRTC for the data channel.
The project is built to be a simple, secure and efficient way to share files with others without the need to upload them to a server. It features no overhead and bloating libraries in JavaScript, and its built using mainly TypeScript HTMX, and Golang for server.
