Why We Built DropWire: Escaping Cloud File Dependency
Why direct machine-to-machine streaming with SPAKE2 and Multiplexed TCP is superior to third-party cloud uploads.
Why We Built DropWire: Escaping Cloud File Dependency
Moving files between machines should be as fast as your local network link.
Yet today, sharing a 5GB video archive with a peer across the room often means uploading it to cloud storage, creating temporary download links, and relying on remote servers to store your private data.
The P2P Solution
DropWire was built in Rust to solve this problem permanently:
- Zero Cloud Uploads: Data streams straight from sender disk to receiver disk.
- SPAKE2 Security: Complete end-to-end encryption with ephemeral keypairs.
- Resumable Chunks: Interrupted transfers resume seamlessly using BLAKE3 Merkle integrity proofs.
Try it today by downloading the CLI.
