QuickDrop
QuickDrop functions as an ephemeral, self-hosted file distribution node and pastebin that eliminates account requirements for rapid data transfers. Users can drag individual files, paste plain text code snippets, or drop entire folder structures while preserving complete directory hierarchies through automated client manifests. Resumable chunked transfers split multi-gigabyte payloads into resilient blocks, ensuring dependable uploads over unstable network connections. Senders can protect sensitive documents with optional AES encryption at rest, individual passphrase requirements, and automatic metadata stripping that removes GPS coordinates and camera EXIF markers. Granular share token policies restrict access by enforce maximum download quotas, burn-after-reading limits, or strict calendar expiration timestamps. In-browser viewers generate instant previews for code syntax, Markdown documentation, PDF reports, audio tracks, and high-resolution images without downloading files locally. Built-in QR code generators allow mobile devices to retrieve shared payloads instantly across local wireless networks. System operators can govern storage lifecycles through an administrative control panel with configurable retention windows, automated background garbage collection, and custom storage caps. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Benefits
- Resumable Chunked Folder Uploads
- Splits large multi-gigabyte files into fault-tolerant upload chunks and preserves nested directory tree structures using client manifests without requiring user accounts or third-party transfer clients.
- Granular Tokenized Access Controls
- Creates time-expiring download links with enforced access quotas, burn-after-reading rules, and optional password protection to prevent unauthorized re-sharing of sensitive files or code pastes.
- Client Privacy and EXIF Scrubbing
- Protects sender anonymity by stripping EXIF camera metadata and GPS coordinates from uploaded media automatically while supporting optional AES encryption for payloads stored on disk.
- Rich In-Browser Media Previews
- Renders syntax-highlighted code pastes, PDF manuals, CSV tables, audio files, and high-resolution photos directly inside the web browser before initiating full local file downloads.
Features
- Resumable Chunked Transfers
- Uploads massive payloads in parallel blocks that recover gracefully from network interruptions without restarting from scratch.
- Folder Hierarchy Support
- Preserves complex folder directories, file trees, and nested subfolder paths seamlessly through automated client-side manifest generation.
- Download Quotas and Expiry
- Enforces customizable download quotas, token expirations, and burn-after-reading destruction schedules for individual shared file links.
- Instant QR Code Generation
- Generates dynamic QR codes for any upload or paste, facilitating seamless file transfers to mobile phones and tablets.
- Automated Lifecycle Policies
- Purges expired files, removes orphaned tokens, and executes scheduled disk space garbage collection routines across local server volumes.
