Qopy Features - Enterprise-Grade Secure Text & File Sharing Redefined
Qopy is not just another sharing service. It's a privacy-first, security-focused platform with enterprise-grade encryption that puts your data protection above everything else. Our unified system handles both text and file sharing with the same level of security and privacy protection.
Unified Text & File Sharing
Share both text content and files through a single, secure platform. All content is encrypted client-side before transmission, ensuring maximum privacy regardless of content type.
Enterprise-Grade Client-Side Encryption
Your content is encrypted with AES-256-GCM encryption directly in your browser before it ever reaches our servers. We literally cannot read your content, even if we wanted to.
Multi-Part File Upload System
Large files are uploaded in secure chunks with automatic reassembly. Files up to 100MB are supported with progress tracking and resume capability.
Automatic Expiration
Set expiration times from 5 minutes to 24 hours. Your content automatically disappears after the specified time, ensuring nothing is stored permanently.
Access Code Protection
Add an optional access code to your shared content. Access codes are processed with 100,000 PBKDF2 iterations and never leave your browser.
One-Time Access
Enable self-destruct mode so your content disappears immediately after the first person views it. Perfect for sensitive information.
QR Code Sharing
Generate QR codes for easy mobile sharing. Simply scan the code with any smartphone to access your shared content instantly. QR codes are generated client-side for maximum privacy.
No Registration Required
Start sharing immediately without creating accounts or providing personal information. Complete anonymity from the start.
Quick Share Mode
Ultra-fast sharing with 4-character codes and 5-minute expiration. Perfect for temporary, non-sensitive content sharing.
Enhanced Security Mode
10-character codes with URL secrets for sensitive content. Provides additional security layers for confidential information.
REST API Access
Integrate Qopy into your applications with our comprehensive REST API. Note: Client-side encryption is only available through the web interface.
Redis Caching (Optional)
Enhanced performance with optional Redis caching for upload sessions. Falls back gracefully to database storage when Redis is unavailable.
Advanced Security Features
Enterprise-Grade Encryption Features
Qopy implements cutting-edge encryption techniques for maximum security:
- AES-256-GCM encryption - Advanced algorithm used by financial institutions worldwide
- PBKDF2 key derivation - 100,000 iterations for access code-protected content
- Hybrid security system - URL secrets + access codes for defense in depth
- Deterministic IV derivation - IV derived from combined secret for access code-protected clips
- Binary storage - Direct byte concatenation, stored as BYTEA for efficiency
- Random key generation - Cryptographically secure random keys for non-protected clips
- Authenticated encryption - GCM mode provides both confidentiality and integrity
- Zero-knowledge architecture - We literally cannot read your content
Hybrid Security Architecture
Qopy's innovative hybrid security combines multiple protection layers:
- URL secrets - 16-character random secrets automatically generated and included in share URLs
- User access codes - Traditional access code protection chosen by users
- Combined secrets - Both secrets combined for maximum security (URL_secret:access_code)
- Defense in depth - Even weak access codes are protected by the URL secret
- URL-based access control - Only those with the complete URL can attempt decryption
- Two-factor security - Something you know (access code) + something you have (URL)
Zero-Knowledge Architecture
True privacy protection with zero-knowledge guarantees:
- We never see your plain text content
- All encryption happens in your browser
- Only encrypted data is stored on our servers
- Access codes never leave your browser
- URL secrets never leave your browser
- Even if our servers were compromised, your data would remain secure
- No IV transmission - derived deterministically from combined secret
File Upload Security
Advanced file handling with enterprise-grade security:
- Chunked uploads - Large files split into secure 5MB chunks
- Automatic reassembly - Files reassembled server-side with integrity checks
- Progress tracking - Real-time upload progress with resume capability
- File validation - Comprehensive file type and size validation
- Secure storage - Files stored with same encryption as text content
- Automatic cleanup - Expired files and orphaned chunks removed automatically
Rate Limiting & Abuse Prevention
Our multi-layered rate limiting system prevents abuse while ensuring fair usage:
- Burst protection against rapid-fire attacks
- General API protection for overall stability
- Content-specific limits to prevent spam
- IP-based enforcement with temporary processing
- Upload-specific rate limiting for file sharing
API Security Limitations
Important: Client-side encryption is only available through the web interface. When using the API directly:
- Content is sent as plaintext to the server
- Server-side encryption is applied
- For maximum security, always use the web interface
