Hey #security #hackers.

So I was using keybase.pub for some file hosting stuff a while back. I liked it because it was encrypted, didn't require account verification that could identify me, and offered a convenient URL that I could give to people to grab files that I uploaded.

Sadly, as of March first, they took Keybase.pub offline. It still works as a means of sharing files between users as I understand, but the major thing I used it for was a secure means to share libraries of content without using an account tied to an email, phone number and then some to those who weren’t using the Keybase system.

So, now I’m on the hunt for a decent alternative that follows the same guidelines. Would anyone know of anything worth looking into?

I don’t need a secure chat platform; I already have a few of those that I trust and have my people on.
I just need a way to host my data and share it with people like Keybase allowed.

KBFS to upload files to private, group or public folders that are then accessible to whoever has the URL like keybase.pub/user allowed. Hope I’m making sence? lol

Help appreciated.
