Send large files to someone without uploading them anywhere
You have a 40 GB project folder and you need to get it to a colleague. The usual approach is to upload it to Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer, wait for the upload to finish, send the link, and then wait again while they download it.
For a 40 GB folder on a 500 Mbps connection, the upload takes about 10 minutes. Then the download takes the same on their end. That is 20 minutes of waiting, plus the files sitting on someone else's server the whole time. WeTransfer caps at 2 GB on the free tier, so you cannot even send it there.
With KEIBIDROP, the file goes straight from your machine to theirs. There is no upload step, no server holding a copy, and no account on either side.
You exchange a code once and the other person stays in your address book
Both people install KEIBIDROP and each gets a code. You exchange codes once, and the other person goes into your address book as a saved contact. Next time, you connect from the contact list with one click. If you prefer not to save contacts, use incognito mode: exchange fresh codes each time, no trace left on either device.
Once connected, you drag a file in or click Add. The file transfers directly between the two machines over an encrypted channel.
Copying 40 to 500 GB over a local 4 Gbps link still takes between 80 seconds and 17 minutes. With KEIBIDROP in virtual folder mode you do not wait at all, because the folder appears within the first second and each file streams on demand as you open it. The full copy never needs to finish before you start working.
Over the internet, the speed depends on both connections. If either device is behind a restrictive firewall, a relay forwards the data. The relay handles encrypted bytes and cannot read the contents.
There is no size cap, because nothing is uploading anywhere
Cloud services all impose limits. WeTransfer caps at 2 GB on the free tier, email attachments cap at 25 MB, and even paid cloud storage times out on very large uploads.
KEIBIDROP has no file size limit and no file count limit. Send one 200 GB file or a folder with 10,000 small files. Entire folder structures transfer with their hierarchy intact. If the connection drops mid-transfer, it picks up from where it stopped when you reconnect, so nothing starts over.
There is no username, no email and no password
There is no username to create, no email address to enter and no password to remember. KEIBIDROP generates a cryptographic identity on your device and uses it for the encrypted connection, and nothing about it is stored on any server.
The connection is encrypted directly between the two devices
The connection is encrypted directly between your two devices, so nobody in between can read the files, including us, your internet provider and anyone else on the same Wi-Fi. The encryption is designed to withstand both current and future threats, including quantum computers. Your files are protected today and stay protected tomorrow.
