RocketShare

Two founders named Corné and Rame built RocketShare with a promise that sounds almost too good to be true: your files stay private, even from them. That's the pitch—end-to-end encryption where RocketShare literally can't see what you're sharing. Most file sharing platforms say they secure your data but quietly hold the keys. These two said nah, we're building it so we can't access it either. They have a GitHub (meruiden), which means this is either open source or they care about transparency enough to show the code. Either way, that's not typical for a file sharing tool.

In a world where every cloud service claims "your data is safe" while monetizing that same data, saying "we can't even view your files" is a power move. RocketShare is betting that people are done with platforms that treat their documents like products. Whether they're right remains to be seen—no funding, no user numbers, no growth metrics yet. But the concept alone puts them in a different lane than Dropbox, Google Drive, and WeTransfer. This is for people who actually handle sensitive stuff: contracts, medical records, legal documents, the kind of files you don't want sitting on someone else's server with a "trust us" label.

Based in Amsterdam (likely, given the Dutch names), RocketShare is either the most paranoid file sharing tool ever built or the most honest. Time will tell.
