P2PDrop

Share files between peers powered by WebRTC

P2PDrop is a file sharing application which allows you to transfer files directly between devices, without having to upload to any server. It uses WebRTC(data channels) powered WebTorrent for peer-to-peer file transport, SimpleWebRTC for exchange of hash handshake between peers and Firebase for presence management.

P2PDrop requires internet connection to establish handshake between peers. It lets you securely share large files without even uploading to server therefore you need not worry about data leakage.

I have tried to use node 0.10.25, 0.12.44 and 4.4.3
Many dependencies are deprecated too.

Using OSX (local), after many tries, via 4200 port, ok. But without UI at browser.
On Ubuntu, no results. I really need to use your firebase configuration?

What does secure mean?

P2PDrop is a secure file sharing application which allows you to transfer files directly between devices, without having to upload to any server. It uses WebRTC(data channels) powered WebTorrent for peer-to-peer file transport...

WebTorrent in its default is a non-silo solution. Which means data that is being seeded/transferred can potentially be downloaded by anyone. The description of P2PDrop on the other hand gives the impression of a private file transfer.
