Because I wanted a simple way to share files without creating an account, paying for another subscription, or uploading everything to another non-private cloud drive.
I don't make money from VeilShare. It's a project built because I enjoy making things that have a real use. There are no ads, no tracking, and no subscription.
You shouldn't blindly trust anything on the internet.
However, you could open DevTools in your browser. You will see:
Because it's free, there has to be some size limits:
Because accounts require collecting data.
VeilShare is intentionally designed to collect as little information as possible. No accounts means:
End-to-end encrypted file sharing means that files are encrypted directly in your browser before they are uploaded. Only you and the recipient can access the contents of the file.
This means, even if we wanted to, we cannot see file contents because the encryption key never reaches our servers. Your encryption key is included in the shareable link (the part after "#").
When someone downloads a file, they must have the complete link containing the key. If the key is lost, the file cannot be recovered.
For more technical details, read this section of the privacy policy.
It depends on what you need. If you're looking for a Google Drive alternative, Dropbox alternative, or WeTransfer alternative specifically for quick, one-off file transfers, rather than permanent cloud storage, VeilShare is a strong fit.
Key differences:
If you need long-term file storage, a full cloud drive is probably the better option. But for sending a file securely to someone right now, VeilShare is a great option.
