I run 0807, a file host I host myself.
You drop a file, you get a short link, and you choose when it disappears.
I am posting it here because the whole thing is built around privacy, and because I would rather lay out the real threat model than call it "secure" and let you find the gaps later.
The privacy side:
The honest part, which this community will and should ask about:
it is not end to end encrypted. The server can read what is stored, on purpose.
I want to be able to remove illegal uploads when they get reported, child sexual abuse material above all. A server that cannot see its own contents cannot act on those reports, and I am not willing to run one that cannot.
So I gave up that form of secrecy in exchange for being able to take that content down.
What that means for you in practice the password is casual access control, not protection from me as the operator or from anyone who breaks into the server.
If you need real confidentiality, encrypt the file on your own machine before uploading and share the key separately.
Treat 0807 as a way to move files around with self destructing links and no account, not as a vault for secrets you cannot afford to expose.
It is open source, and I host the code on my own server instead of GitHub, so there is no third party in that loop either.
You can read every line check the no logging claim yourself suggest a change, or open an issue all without an account:
Questions and criticism welcome. If you think the encryption tradeoff is the wrong call, I will read the argument
Criticizing just for the sake of criticizing is all you know how to do constantly shouting honeypot even though the src is available.
And I even recommend that people run it locally if they don't trust me (which is understandable).
it’s not for the sake of criticism. as a sw eng myself, it’s about realizing the source may be available but the implementation is sketchy as fuck. this is glowie if there ever was one.

Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

Do you see any lack of wisdom in providing and describing a way for people to anonymously share encrypted CSAM on your servers, politely asking them not to do it after explicitly telling them how to do it, and then making your logo a Japanese schoolgirl?
