Why FileDroppr exists

FileDroppr started after one too many documents vanished into inboxes with no way of knowing what happened next. You send a proposal, a report, a deck - and then silence. Did they open it? Did they read past the first page? Did the one slide you sweated over even get seen? A view counter can't tell you, and most file tools stop there.

So we built the thing we wanted: share a PDF, get a real readership report. Page-by-page reading time, a read-through funnel that shows exactly where people stop, returning-reader signals - the answers, not just a number.

And we built it to respect the people doing the reading. FileDroppr never stores a visitor's IP address. Readers become stable, pseudonymous Reader #214-style identities via a one-way hash, so you get returning-reader insight without surveillance. Analytics that you'd be comfortable being on the other side of.

That privacy stance is enforced in the architecture, not just the marketing. Files are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Each reader's identity is derived with a salted one-way hash that never includes a stored IP address; country is resolved in-flight and the address is then discarded. Expired links are swept from disk, file and record, within a minute. The guarantee holds because there is no raw personal data sitting around to leak in the first place.

FileDroppr is an independent, self-funded product, built and run by Nick. There are no investors with an interest in monetising your readers' data - the no-IP model is a constraint baked in from day one, not a toggle that can be switched off later.
