Why GhostDrop
Your files deserve a witness,
not a spectator.
We built GhostDrop because sharing shouldn't mean surrendering.
The problem with sharing
You pour months into an unreleased track, a rough cut, a contract draft. The moment you share it through a regular file-sharing link, you lose control. That link can be forwarded, screenshotted, downloaded, and passed around without your knowledge. Your work lives on someone else's server indefinitely, accessible to anyone with the URL.
For creators who take their work seriously, this isn't just inconvenient — it's a risk. Leaked tracks, premature reveals, unauthorized distribution. The tools we use for convenience were never designed with confidentiality in mind.
GhostDrop is different. Every file is encrypted in your browser before it ever touches our servers. The encryption key is embedded in the share link — we never see it, we never store it, we never have access to it. Your content is mathematically inaccessible to us. Not because of a privacy policy, but because of cryptography.
Set an expiry. Set a view limit. When the conditions are met, the encrypted data is permanently deleted. No traces, no backups, no exceptions. Your content exists only for exactly as long as you decide it should.
How encryption works
Your browser encrypts
AES-256-GCM encryption happens entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API. A unique key is generated for each drop.
Server stores gibberish
Our servers receive and store only encrypted chunks. Without the key, this data is indistinguishable from random noise.
Only your link unlocks it
The encryption key is embedded in the URL fragment (#). It never reaches our servers — only the person with the link can decrypt.
Built for the paranoid
AES-256-GCM
Military-grade encryption via the Web Crypto API. Keys are generated in your browser and never leave it.
Zero-Knowledge
Your encryption key lives in the URL fragment — it's never sent to our servers. We literally cannot see your content.
Auto-Destruct
Every drop has an expiry. When the timer runs out, encrypted data is permanently purged from our servers.
View Limits
Set exactly how many times a drop can be viewed. Once the limit is hit, the link dies.
