An upload and a download, or one direct transfer.
WeTransfer takes your files onto their servers first and the recipient downloads them from there, so the wait is twice and the files sit on someone else's disk. KEIBIDROP sends directly between the two machines, with no upload step, no size cap, no account and nothing left behind.
| KEIBIDROP | WeTransfer | |
|---|---|---|
| Upload step | None, it sends directly | Yes, then a download |
| Files on a third party server | No | Yes |
| Size cap | None | Yes, by plan |
| Account | None | Yes, above the free tier |
| Link that anyone can open | No, a named peer | Yes |
| Open a file without receiving the folder | Yes, it mounts | No |
| Encryption | End to end, X25519 with ML-KEM-1024 | In transit and at rest on their servers |
| Source code | Open, MPL-2.0 | Closed |
KEIBIDROP moves the bytes from one machine to the other, so the recipient starts receiving while you are still sending and nothing is copied to a third party in between.
There is no copy on a server to expire, to be found by a link, or to be handed over. The files stay on the two machines that took part.
A transfer goes to a peer you already verified by fingerprint, so there is no public URL that works for whoever holds it.
KEIBIDROP can also mount the other machine's folder, and a read pulls only the bytes it touches, so a colourist opens the four takes they need instead of receiving the whole shoot.
No. KeibiDrop has no size cap, and WeTransfer caps by plan.
No. They go from one machine to the other, so nothing is stored on a third party disk and nothing expires.
No. The two sides exchange an 86 character fingerprint once and connect on it afterwards.
