MagnetDrop - Secure P2P File Sharing

MagnetDrop is a peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing service that allows users to share files instantly using WebTorrent technology. Unlike traditional cloud storage, files are never uploaded to a server—they are streamed directly between users.

Features

• No Server Storage: Files are not stored on any central server.
• P2P Streaming: Uses WebTorrent for real-time file sharing.
• Instant Sharing: Share large files instantly without waiting for uploads.
• No Registration Required: Users can share files without creating an account.
• Auto Expiry: Files disappear once the sender closes their browser.

How It Works

1. User A selects a file to share.
2. A magnet link is generated and shared with User B.
3. User B clicks the link to start downloading the file directly from User A.
4. Files are transferred in real-time using WebRTC-based WebTorrent.
5. Once the sender leaves, the file becomes unavailable.

FAQ

1. Does MagnetDrop use the torrent network?

Yes, it uses WebTorrent, which allows file sharing using torrent-like technology but without public trackers.

2. Can anyone download my file?

No, only people with the magnet link can access the file. Once the sender closes the browser, the file is no longer accessible.

3. How does MagnetDrop transmit files?

Files are split into small chunks and transmitted directly between peers via WebRTC, enabling real-time streaming.

4. Is there any risk of file leakage?

No, files are not discoverable on public torrent networks. However, anyone with the magnet link can access it, so share links cautiously.

5. What happens if I close my browser?

If you are the only seeder, the file becomes unavailable. If others are downloading it, they may continue seeding it.
