Goals

1) become the best secure online file sharing solution in the world; 2) become the best place to share the secret data.

How it works

8files uses the same encryption as governments do it for top-secret files - AES 256 bit - it takes billions of years to hack it. We don't save usernames, IP's or any logs on service activity, we care of our customers privacy, so we can guarantee - the data breach is impossible. We have A-rated SSL certificate that we're proud of.

Simply click upload and choose files, the rest happens very fast - get the link and share it. Our secure online file sharing is so easy that even your grandpa will handle it without calling you ;)

How I built it

It took 11 years of efforts from one startup to another, from fintech to digital libraries, and only by 2018 I clearly see where I can use my knowledge to build the product.

Challenges I ran into

Bugs, bugs and million more bugs. Developing secure online file sharing is a very big challenge with a lot of tests, mistakes, updates and so on, we keep on improving the service every day.

What's next for 8files - secure and anonymous file sharing

1) improving information security; 2) collaboration features; 3) files marketplace.
