Hey folks,

We are the team behind Slik.

Over the past year, we have been hacking on SlikSafe [1] a Dropbox alternative where all your data is first encrypted on your own device and then stored on decentralized storage.

Some features we're most excited about are -

  - multi-device data sync,
  - auto-backups via desktop apps,
  - search your docs by name or contents with end-to-end encryption,
  - easy sharing via email, QR-code or private-link,
  - Password-less login using MetaMask/Phantom

We leverage storage providers IPFS and Storj for global redundancy, reliability, and immutability.

You can use our web app [2] and macOS app [3] today. Our desktop app for Windows is currently in beta, and will be launched in early Jan.

You can read our WhitePaper [4] for the technical implementation, or see a quick demo [5] of the product.

Would love to hear what you think.

Arpit, Charvi
