How it works

One button. No new account.

01

Plug the pendrive in

antiDrive runs on Windows and Linux, from the stick itself. Plug it into any internet-connected PC.

02

Click Go online

One click gives you a public https link and a QR code in a few seconds. Open it on any other machine. No account, no server, and nothing to forward on your router.

03

Sign in and stream

Enter your password, then a code from your authenticator app, or use your fingerprint on this computer or a stable address. Files stream straight off the pendrive, with seeking, end-to-end encrypted. The tunnel can't read them.

Nobody's cloud holds them.
