GigaTribe
GigaTribe lets users share photos, videos, and documents directly from their hard drives.
What GigaTribe is
GigaTribe lets users share photos, videos, and documents directly from their hard drives. Shared files stay on the owner's computer rather than another company's server. Only invited contacts can view files, and they can browse only the selected folders, in their existing organization, and download files in their original formats. Contacts can also share files with one another. The homepage says file quantity and size are not limited. Downloads interrupted when a contact goes offline can resume when they return, and GigaTribe can retrieve a file from multiple contacts. A hashtag system helps users find people with similar interests. The homepage says exchanges are strongly encrypted; its privacy policy says D1FFER collects no information about exchanged files except 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 GigaTribe VPN downloads, and one simultaneous download. Paid Ultimate plans add unlimited VPN and simultaneous downloads, multisource downloads, configurable folder authorization, and email support.
