dropport / overview

Send files without leaving a trace.

DropPort creates a temporary, encrypted relay between two browsers. No cloud storage, no accounts, no logs.

Send files directly between browsers. Nothing is stored on the server.

dropport / why

Why It Exists

Most file sharing tools ask you to upload files to someone else's server, create another account, and leave data sitting around longer than necessary.

DropPort acts only as a temporary relay. Files pass through memory during transfer and are never written to disk. When the session ends or expires, the transfer context is gone.

Free. For Real.

Everything you need to run private browser file transfer on your own infrastructure, without artificial limits.

DropPort Community is production-capable and fully featured for real usage. No trial. No forced expiry. No account lock-in. Run it with Docker and keep using it for free.

dropport / capabilities

Core Features

Temporary Sessions

Create a transfer, get a short code like ABC-123, and share it with the recipient.

No Server Storage

DropPort relays file streams in memory and does not persist file bytes or transfer metadata.

Encrypted Transport

Runs over HTTPS and WSS with certificate automation for secure browser-to-browser transport.

Docker Ready

Run the appliance as a single container on port 8443 in any environment where Docker runs.

Large File Stability

Streams file chunks with backpressure so large transfers remain stable and predictable.

Cross-Platform Browsers

Works in modern browsers with no local installs for senders or receivers.

dropport / benefits

Built for Clean Transfers

  • Private by design with no stored files, metadata, or content inspection.
  • Simple workflow with no accounts and no local install requirements.
  • Fast browser-to-browser relay over encrypted channels.
  • Self-hostable on your own infrastructure using one container command.
  • Sessions expire automatically after inactivity for a cleaner operating model.

dropport / trust

Community Edition. Fully Featured.

DropPort Community is free to self-host with full transfer functionality. If Community does everything you need, use it.

We make money when organisations need more: offline and air-gapped deployment patterns, compliance support, and direct engineering expertise.

The Community Edition sends a small anonymous heartbeat to activation.jadaptive.com with simple usage counts. It never includes personal information, names, email addresses, or private keys.

dropport / flow

How It Works

  1. 1. Create a transfer and get a short code.
  2. 2. The receiver enters the code in their browser.
  3. 3. Both browsers connect to the DropPort relay.
  4. 4. The sender selects files and the receiver approves each download.
  5. 5. Files stream through the encrypted session, and when the session ends, nothing remains on the server.

dropport / quickstart

Quick Start with Docker

Deploy DropPort as a single container and open the UI in two browser tabs to test a sender/receiver flow.

docker run --rm -p 8443:8443 \
    -e DROPPORT_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin \
    -e DROPPORT_ADMIN_PASSWORD=change-me \
    -e DROPPORT_DATA_DIR=/root/.dropport \
    -e DROPPORT_NITRITE_FILE=dropport.db \
    dropport:latest

Then open https://localhost:8443 in two tabs, create a transfer in one tab, and join it from the other tab with the short code.
