CloudDrop

A simple CLI tool for sharing files P2P on your local network or over the public internet.

CloudDrop allows you to share files in two ways:

Skip the middleman (Discord, Gmail, Slack, etc.) with this free CLI tool that doesn't store your data. CloudDrop runs locally on YOUR machine and connects to a cloud storage provider for encryption and security.

Share files directly with friends or family—both clients just need the CloudDrop CLI installed. Pure byte-to-byte P2P sharing with full security and privacy.

CloudDrop enables you to share files or directories either P2P or over the public internet using Kafka and Google Storage. It ensures high security via access codes.
