Hi HN, I made this. A while back I built FileKey (passkey file encryption in the browser), and the most common request was: can people send files to me?

So we built receive.link. It allows you to receive files only you can open.

How it works: you share one link. Anyone can send you files through it, right from their browser, nothing to install or sign up for. Files are encrypted before they leave the sender's device, to your passkey, so no one can see what's inside. You get an email when something arrives, and we actually send that email without ever storing your address (it's a neat trick!). The sender never sees your address either, so you can share your link with strangers safely.

Up to 5 TB per file. Sending is free; your first 1 GB of downloads is free, then a penny per GB (no subscriptions).

Open source, client and server: https://github.com/RockwellShah/receive.link

Sorry, what do you mean by "waiting for funds?" As in, how do we do the conversion from fiat currency to crypto in the app?

AVAX has a great combination of qualities: 1) It's fairly decentralized with ~1,500 validators 2) The costs for transactions are incredibly inexpensive 3) It's EVM compatible 4) It has very fast finality, so you can save notes quickly 5) Has basically no down time or outages
