<h1>Pixeldrain Public Beta</h1>
|
||||
<h1>What is Pixeldrain?</h1>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that this is an experimental version of Pixeldrain server,
|
||||
the Pixeldrain backend has been completely redesigned from the
|
||||
ground up to be more extensible, efficient and scalable. The
|
||||
server this web application runs on is considered a testing
|
||||
environment. Database resets can happen when architectural
|
||||
changes need to be applied.
|
||||
Pixeldrain is a file sharing website built for speed and ease of
|
||||
use.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Questions and Answers</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>For how long will my files be stored?</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Files will be removed if they have not been viewed for 90 days.
|
||||
A view is counted when someone visits the file's download page
|
||||
(pixeldrain.com/u/somefile) or views the file through a list the
|
||||
file is included in (pixeldrain.com/l/somelist).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Sia integration is still very experimental and could
|
||||
fail, resulting in data loss. Do not upload files to this server
|
||||
that you cannot afford to lose. Use the stable main server instead:
|
||||
<a href="https://pixeldrain.com">https://pixeldrain.com</a>.
|
||||
You cannot delete files yourself. Once a file has been uploaded
|
||||
to pixeldrain it will stay there for at least 90 days. If you
|
||||
accidentally upload something you shouldn't have, just don't
|
||||
share the link. The file will expire eventually. File links are
|
||||
not indexed or published anywhere. As long as you don't share it
|
||||
nobody will see it.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>What cookies does pixeldrain use?</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When uploading a file pixeldrain will install a cookie named
|
||||
'pduploads'. This cookie keeps a dot-separated list of all files
|
||||
you have uploaded anonymously in this browser. This cookie is
|
||||
<b>only</b> used for viewing your upload history.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
But don't let all that stop you from trying the new Pixeldrain!
|
||||
The upload restrictions that the main site has haven't been
|
||||
implemented in this version yet, so you can upload as much as
|
||||
you want. The server only has 256 GiB of space available, if it
|
||||
starts running out of space files will be purged from the local
|
||||
filesystem and served from Sia on the next request.
|
||||
When logging in to a pixeldrain account a cookie named
|
||||
'pd_auth_key' will be installed. This cookie keeps your login
|
||||
session active. When you delete it you will be logged out of
|
||||
your account.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When you use the style selector at the bottom of this page a
|
||||
cookie called 'style' will be set. This cookie controls the
|
||||
appearance of the website for you.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Do I need to register an account?</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Not if you don't want to. You're free to use pixeldrain
|
||||
completely anonymously. Without a pixeldrain account you can
|
||||
upload files, download files and create lists of files. And view
|
||||
your uploaded files on the <a href="/history">history page</a>.
|
||||
This page only shows files which were uploaded anonymously in
|
||||
this web browser.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
By registering an account on pixeldrain you will be able to
|
||||
access your files from any device with a web browser. Files you
|
||||
upload and lists you create will be linked to your pixeldrain
|
||||
account and will show up on your <a href="/user">personal home
|
||||
page</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Does pixeldrain cost any money?</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
No, pixeldrain is completely free at the moment. While there is
|
||||
an advertisement on the file downloading page, it doesn't
|
||||
generate nearly enough revenue to pay for maintaining this
|
||||
service. That's why I'd really appreciate it if you could spare
|
||||
some coins. Possible methods for donating are:

<h2>Funding</h2>

I'm currently paying for the Sia storage myself, since the site

send some Siacoins my way:
