Freedom251 › File Sharing Software
GigaTribe
What GigaTribe is
GigaTribe lets people share photos, videos, and documents directly from their hard drives. Shared files stay on the owner's device rather than being stored on another company's server. The owner chooses which folders to share, and only invited contacts can view them; contacts see the folder organization and can download files in their original formats. Sharing works in both directions, so contacts can also share files with one another. GigaTribe says there is no limit on the quantity or size of files. If a contact goes offline during a download, the transfer can resume when they return, and a file can be retrieved from multiple contacts. A hashtag system helps people find others with similar interests. GigaTribe states that exchanges are strongly encrypted. Its privacy policy says D1FFER collects no information about exchanged files apart from their size for bandwidth monitoring. Apps are available for Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows. The free license costs nothing and includes unlimited direct downloads, 2 Go of downloads through GigaTribe VPN, and one simultaneous download. Paid Ultimate plans add unlimited VPN and simultaneous downloads, multisource downloads, configurable folder authorization, and email support.
