drop.i2p v2 - Major Release
Anonymous, Encrypted, Persistent File Sharing for I2P
We're excited to announce the v2 release of drop.i2p, a complete rewrite bringing significant improvements to security, performance, and usability.
What's New
Complete Rewrite in Go
The entire application has been refactored from Python to Go, resulting in dramatically improved performance and reduced resource usage. This also positions us for future integration with the upcoming I2P Go router.
Post-Quantum Encryption
All files are now encrypted at rest using hybrid post-quantum cryptography (X25519 + ML-KEM-768). This protects your uploads against both current and future quantum computing threats.
Chunked Uploads & Downloads
Files are now broken into 128KB chunks, enabling more robust and resumable transfers over I2P. Large file uploads are more reliable, and interrupted downloads can be resumed where they left off.
Expanded File Support
Nearly all file types can now be uploaded (with a small number blocked for security reasons). Maximum file expiration has been increased to 30 days.
Native File Previews
Supported file types including images, videos, audio (MP3, etc.), and PDFs now display a preview directly in the browser - no download required.
Collections & Multi-File Upload
Upload multiple files at once to create a collection. Perfect for sharing folders or groups of related files with a single link.
JavaScript-Free by Default
The site remains fully functional without JavaScript. For those uploading larger files, an optional "Advanced Upload" mode uses XHR for more reliable progress tracking, but it's entirely opt-in.
CSAM Protection
All uploaded images are scanned against known CSAM hash databases to help keep the platform safe and compliant.
Abuse Reporting System
A new reporting system allows users to flag content that violates our terms of service.
Privacy First
As always, we remain true to our core values: we do not log any user-identifying data. Your privacy is not negotiable.
