Destiny vs LinxShare
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Destiny
Destiny is an end-to-end encrypted file transfer app. It allows people to securely send files without needing to reveal their identity to each other, or the service provider. No sign-up is needed. The user selects a file on their device and shares the generated code with the intended recipient for safe delivery. Destiny is based on the Magic Wormhole protocol. Key security features: - End-to-end encryption: Files are end-to-end encrypted and only the sender and recipient can read them. - Identity-less: No need to disclose identity information (such as name, email address, or phone number) to be able to transfer files. - Peer-to-peer file transfer: Destiny attempts to make a direct network connection to the other party. When this isn’t possible (for example, if neither party has a public IP address), then our relay server is used. However, that server sees only encrypted packets. - Full-strength keys: Although our codes are short and human-memorable, they are part of an online “Password Authenticated Key Exchange” (PAKE) which only allows a single guess – and yields a 256-bit full-strength symmetric key.
LinxShare
LinxShare is an app to share images on your device with others through your self-hosted linx server. To upload an image simply share it with the LinxShare app and press Upload. After LinxShare uploads your image to your linx server, the app copies the resulting URL to your device's clipboard so you can paste it anywhere. LinxShare lets you configure your linx server address and its API key (if required) and let's you set up a default delete key and expiration time. When uploading an image, you'll be able to override these settings and change the filename.
