Overview
Yopass is a secret-sharing service that encrypts secrets client-side before storing them with a TTL in Memcached or Redis, then destroys them after the first read. It supports passwords, text secrets, and small file attachments. The Go server and React frontend can be deployed via Docker; a public instance at yopass.se is also available.
Where it falls short of Dropbox
- Not a general-purpose file storage tool; limited to small secret payloads
- No persistent file storage; every secret auto-deletes after first access or TTL
- No user accounts, history, or file browsing capabilities
- Requires Memcached or Redis as an external dependency
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
