Recently snapdrop.net and sharedrop.io had been acquired (hijacked) by LimeWire. The widely used local file sharing feature had become "upload files". This is really annoying, since I have trusted the sites for years. Before I noticed the hijack, I even accidentally uploaded several secret files to it.

To avoid others falling to the same trap as I was, I deployed this SnapDrop instance that is clean and free.
