I am happy to announce blindsend: an open-source project we started in order to make end-to-end file exchange easy.

https://github.com/blindnet-io/blindsend

We made it for people to whom clients send sensitive data (doctors, layers, financial advisors) who can use it to send a one-time upload link to their clients, and have blidnsend take care of making the transfer end-to-end encrypted. We hope it will be useful to many who have to deal with GDPR compliance.

You can also call blindsend server from any application/software that you have if you wish to enable your users to exchange files without your system/app having any access to the content, and we are also developing blindsend Java library. As such, we hope blinsend will make implementing end-to-end encrypted file exchange easier, and we are excited to make it open source so that everyone could benefit from it.

I would love to hear your feedback, and if you use blindsend please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Cheers

May I suggest adding "how it works" section in README.md?

tiord5• 6 years ago

Absolutely, we are actually finishing the documentation and will publish the link in README.md in the next couple of days.

do you just transfer files? or do you store them as well?

tiord5• 6 years ago

Yes, blindsend also stores encrypted files. There are currently two storage options: PostgreSQL and Google Cloud Storage.

What encryption do you use for storage? It seems like an additional risk

I recall receiving an unsolicited email about this project a week ago. Did you scrape email addresses from GitHub profiles to try to promote your project, by any chance?

lemoncurd• 6 years ago

yes I did, what about it ?

this is a similar solution for transfering files without storing. it requires both sender an receiver to be online at the same time. https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole
