file sharing is here! share files up to 50GB with ease. perfect for collaboration—no account needed for the recipient. just send a link, and add a password for extra security if you’d like.
bit like WeTransfer, but with end-to-end encryption.

if you regularly use Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive and would be interested in an EU-based alternative with better data protection and whose servers aren’t located in the west’s latest oligarchy, maybe consider using softmask.net

next up: implementing file previewing. could be a solid first step toward better collaboration tools for indie devs, musicians, (pixel) artists, etc.
tried to make setting it up as user-friendly as possible too. no need for things to be overly complicated!
