QRClip - File Sharing Built for Privacy, Simplified. Questions

A: Hello,

You can, but the problem is that after 120 days you have to upload a new one and then edit the dynamic QR code to point to it. Also, the app's stats don't track the person who opens the QR code. Maybe something that gives you information (IP, phone type, etc.) about who opened the QR code it would be valuable for your case, and we can't offer that

Thank you!

A: I understand your concerns about the necessity of QRClip.io in light of traditional cloud storage solutions. Although both platforms facilitate file storage and sharing, QRClip.io offers distinct advantages tailored to secure, efficient and user-centric file transfer:

1. Increased security and privacy:
- Zero-knowledge encryption: QRClip.io works with a zero-knowledge architecture that ensures that only you and your intended recipients can access the files you share. Even the service itself cannot decrypt your data.
- End-to-end encryption: With advanced XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption, QRClip.io guarantees that your data remains confidential during the entire transfer process.

2. User-controlled data management:
- Self-destructing links and QR codes: You can set how long your shared data remains accessible and how often it can be accessed to ensure your files are not available indefinitely.
- User-controlled deletion: QRClip.io allows you to delete shared files at your own discretion and even gives recipients the option to delete the data after access, providing an additional layer of control.

3. Seamless and flexible sharing:
- QR code integration: QRClip.io enables quick file transfers through QR codes, allowing recipients to scan files and access them instantly without the need for links or accounts.
- Multi-recipient feature: A single QR code can receive files from multiple senders simultaneously, simplifying the collection of data from different sources without the clutter of multiple emails or messages.

4. Anonymity and data protection:
- Anonymous data exchange: QRClip.io enables the transfer of files without requesting personal data, allowing anonymous sharing when needed.

5. Universal compatibility:
- Cross-platform access: QRClip.io is designed to work seamlessly across multiple devices including smartphones, computers, tablets and servers(command line), making it a versatile solution for all your file sharing needs.

While traditional cloud storage services offer basic file sharing and storage features, QRClip.io provides a specialized platform that focuses on secure, controlled and efficient file transfers. Its unique features such as end-to-end encryption, user-controlled data management, QR code integration and anonymous sharing offer benefits that can be particularly valuable if you handle sensitive data or need a streamlined, secure sharing method.

Thanks for your question.

A: Hello,

Thank you for your question! We’re currently in the process of simplifying how credits work and reducing prices. However, under the current pricing structure(Appsumo Deal):
Storage Cost per GB for 15 days: $0.025
Download Cost per GB: $0.025

Here’s how the costs break down for your example:
Download Costs:
A 130MB file = 0.130GB
Downloaded by 5 people = 0.130GB × 5 = 0.615GB
Total Download Cost = 0.615GB × $0.025 = $0.015375

Storage Costs:
0.130GB stored for 15 days = 0.130GB × $0.025 = $0.00325

Total Cost: $0.015375 + $0.00325 = $0.018625

If you have any further questions or need additional clarification, feel free to reach out!

Best regards,

A: Thanks for sharing your idea! We appreciate creative suggestions, but lifetime plans don’t align with our core values of fairness and transparency. Our goal is to ensure that users only pay for what they actually use, rather than relying on those who don’t fully utilize their resources to subsidize heavier users. This pay-as-you-go approach allows us to keep pricing honest, straightforward, and genuinely fair for everyone.

While we’re continually working to refine and simplify our pricing structure, offering a lifetime deal would mean moving away from the balance and equity we’ve set out to maintain. We hope you understand our perspective.

Thanks,

A: Hello,

Thank you for your question!

Currently, there are no plans to release dedicated desktop apps, as the browser version of QRClip already works seamlessly across platforms. Additionally, since it's a Progressive Web App (PWA), you can easily install it on any platform and have it function like a desktop app, complete with a desktop icon.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Best regards,
Antero

A: Va bene, cercherò di rispondere in italiano (utilizzando un traduttore).

1) No, scansionando il codice QR con qualsiasi app di scansione, si apre il link nel browser e puoi scaricare i file. Nel caso tu abbia l'app installata, si aprirà con l'app.

2) Dipende: puoi dare alla persona che apre il link il permesso di eliminarlo oppure, ad esempio, impostare un limite affinché possa essere aperto solo una volta; in questo modo verrà eliminato dopo.

Grazie,

A: Hello,
There is an app for the iPhone, but if the user does not have an app installed, he uses the website without any problems. The functionality is exactly the same, the big difference is that the operating system can share with the installed app. The credits are consumed first when sending and then when downloading. The idea is that we only charge when the user actually uses the resources, so we can lower the price to make it fair for everyone.

Thank you very much!

A: Hello,

I can't promise anything long term, but at the moment there are no plans to end this Appsumo deal.

Thanks,

A: Hello,
For every 1 GB of data you store for 30 days, you use 1 credit. If you only store the same data for 15 days, you will use 0.5 credits. The costs are calculated pro rata, i.e. if you only store a file for one day, you will only be charged for that one day.
For every 1 GB of data you download, you will use 0.5 credits.
If you transfer half(0.5) a GB, you will be charged 0.25 credits.

A: Hello,

There is no form function here, only the option to allow users to download or upload files (via portals), not a form. Sorry.

A: Hello,

The credits never expire, but they are always used up when you upload or download something. Otherwise, they do not expire if you do not use them.

A: You can upload any file type, but to play the video you will need to download it to your computer or device. We have no idea of the file types you are uploading because they are all encrypted and we only know the size of the data.

A: Hello,

No, you would just have more credits. So you can buy another code if you run out :)

A: Hello,

Because of the encryption it is very difficult to integrate it into a 3rd party api. Since the encryption has to be processed on the client, there is no easy way to achieve this.
What exactly do you need to do?

A: Note: Some users refund on the grounds that support takes a long time to respond. The problem is that I never received an email. I don't know if they tried and there's a problem or if it's just a random reason. In case of a refund, it would be very helpful if you could send me an email with the reason. Since I can't reach QRClip users via email, that's the only way to get feedback, especially negative feedback.

A: Hello,
Sorry I took my time replying, but since this wasn't a question, I had to ask appsumo to approve it since it was automatically rejected. Now on the topic of HIPAA, although we are technically compliant, there is an issue that we can't quite resolve. Since we don't store our users' emails, we can't notify them via email in the event of a data breach. Even though all our data is encrypted on the user side with keys we never get, we can't fulfill this part.
Thanks,

A: Hello,
QRclips have a maximum validity of 120 days, there you can upload files and people can download them. We also have a dynamic QR code option where you can generate dynamic QR codes. There you can change the link without changing the QR code itself, so you can print, for example, as they don't change and can basically be edited in the backend.
As far as I know, though, you want a way to upload a file and get a QR code that lasts forever. QRClip was designed for short term storage, not long term.

Thank you

A: Hello,

Well, the QRClip link metrics are minimal to say the least: we only track how many times a link has been opened. We don't collect any information from the people who open the link, so they may not be suitable for your use case. Our links are secure, at least from us, since we don't know them. But anyone who has access to the QR code can open them, but you can add a password. Then the person needs the QR code and the password to be able to open it. You can email me at antero@qrclip.io if you want to give me more detailed explanations to see if I can help you with your problem.

Thank you very much!

A: Hello,

Thank you for your kind words; they are greatly appreciated. Regarding the dynamic QR codes, rest assured, they do not expire. Renewal is only necessary if you wish to edit them, such as changing the URL or other settings. A QR code created now will continue to work indefinitely without renewal.

I'm inspired by your suggestion for more use cases on our blog. It’s a great reminder of the untapped potential of QRClip, and I'm eager to explore and share more about how it can fit into various workflows and applications.

Thanks again for your feedback and support!

Best, Antero

A: Hello, our main database is located in the USA. Then the file storage is decentralized by default, but you can choose Frankfurt, for example. Keep in mind that we only know the size of your data as it is end-to-end encrypted, nothing else. Even the file name is encrypted with a key that we don't have and have never received. This is not like other solutions where someone who gains access to the server would be able to see your files. We could expose our user files and even our database, which would be of no use to anyone, because even your email is hashed.
