(WebRTC needs a Signaling Server, but it is only used to establish a connection and is not involved in the file transfer). ##### What about privacy? Will files be saved on third-party-servers? -None of your files are ever sent to any server. Files are sent only between peers. Snapdrop doesn't even use a database.

Are my files encrypted while being sent between the computers? +Yes. Your files are sent using WebRTC, which encrypts them on transit. ##### Is SnapDrop a fork of ShareDrop? No. ShareDrop is built with Ember. Snapdrop is built with vanilla ES6.
