GitHub README for sharedrop.io

ShareDrop is now LimeWire

Dear ShareDrop community, ShareDrop has been acquired by LimeWire, a leading file sharing platform with integrated AI tools. You can continue to share any files between devices, while benefitting from:

- sharing files between devices in the same network
- anonymous up- & downloads
- end-to-end encryption
- up to 40GB storage for free users
- integrated AI tools for signed-up users

Visit sharedrop.io or limewire.com

The Github repository will stay as-is and you can still go ahead and download and run the classic ShareDrop on your own infrastructure.

J'ai aussi essayé sharedrop et snapdrop, mais je les ai trouvés moins pratiques. Si tu as besoin de contrôler ton téléphone via PC, en plus du transfert, il parait qu'il y a KDE Connect, mais j'ai toujours eu des galères sur ce genre de logiciels alors jamais essayé.

Thank you for resisting LimeWire purchase spree!

Peter bought 3 coffees.
I haven't heard about PairDrop until LimeWire took over ShareDrop. Then SnapDrop. Please don't let LimeWire take over PairDrop as well.

Reply: Thanks for your contribution! Don’t worry, I am not interested in selling!

A screenshot of the current LimeWire website. Aside from the main product, it advertises AI Tools and a token that is currently at -8.31% day-to-day change.

The main page text, next to the "Create with AI" and file sharing options:
Upload, edit & share files of any size
LimeWire is back to reshape the way people create, edit and transfer files globally. Our end-to-end encrypted, AI-powered file sharing platform allows you to upload, manipulate & share files of any size, on any device.

I find it unsettling that LimeWire has pivoted to in-browser file sharing backed by a collection of tech buzzwords, and last month took over multiple open-source self-hosted file sharing tools (SnapDrop and ShareDrop). Acquisitions probably happened late last year, based on commit logs.
