User questions, download and how to share files with someone else

[slrslr]

I have found this project and i was interested how Fission Drive can be used. Found: https://guide.fission.codes/drive/preview which says i can use it for public hosting of my files.

Per the image below it seems one have to know the hash of other person "drive", i can not just search all people drives for certain file name, right?

So if i will decide to share 1GB of .pdf files, i have to tell other party to download fission drive (Windows, Linux download links not yet available) and tell them my hash?

When i share that .pdf files, will it cause any substantial additional disk space used having such active share (my Fission drive app must be non stop running)?

Hi @slrslr! Thanks for checking it out and for posting some questions.

The images in the preview are a bit dated, we’ll need to update them.

You can browse public files (and share your own) If you know the username of other people.

Example: https://drive.fission.codes/#/boris

And under the right click menu you can get options to share links to files in various ways, including sharing by IPFS hash.

Sharing can be done on the web without needing the other person to download Fission drive. Note that Fission is a web app — you run it on your desktop or mobile web browser, no download required.

If you have more questions, you could also drop by our Discord chat at https://fission.codes/discord
