Disroot file upload
Today, I am going to look at uploading and sharing files.
Sometimes, we need to send files, that are too big to attach to an e-mail, or we want to share with people, on for, example forums, social media (e.g Fediverse) chat e.g IRC ( e.g https://www.oftc.net/ ) etc.
One of the features of Disroot is a service for just this purpose.
You may also want to send people your CV, or other sensitive documents. This service is also great for that purpose, as it is encrypted.
Disroot is quite radical, it is one of the many services that are designed to move away from central control. Privacy is seen as important. There is no advertising, or annoying auto start videos to slow your workflow down.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SERVICE IS NOT TO BE USED TO SHARE COPYRIGHTED OR ILLEGAL MATERIAL.
The service that Disroot provides is done so in collaboration with :
Lufi – Encrypted temporary file upload service.

Lets get started
Firstly goto the Disroot website. You don’t need a user account for this.
Under services go to Upload
You will be taken to the Lufi page.
Click on Upload files You should be taken to https://upload.disroot.org/
Here you can select how long the files will stay on the server for. Select this and then drag and drop files to the upload area.
Scrolling down you will find links to the file(s) you just uploaded
Clicking on the my files menu gives you the option to also delete files from the server manually or perform other tasks.
Hopefully this short introduction is useful.
