Introducing ShadowBox: A Privacy-First Cloud Storage App
Hey everyone ?
Just wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called ShadowBox — an open-source, privacy-focused cloud storage app. If you're into encryption, privacy tools, or building apps with Flutter and Python, this might be up your alley.
Why ShadowBox?
With all the data breaches and privacy concerns out there, it’s hard to trust big-name cloud storage platforms. ShadowBox is my attempt to build something different — a secure, open-source alternative that gives users full control over their files.
The idea is simple: strong encryption, a clean interface, and the potential for decentralized storage using IPFS.
Right now, it’s a working prototype with:
I’m looking for collaborators — devs, testers, designers, privacy folks — anyone who’s interested in making this better.
What ShadowBox Offers
Here’s what’s working now, and what’s planned:
Check out the GitHub repo for the code and setup instructions.
Current Status
It's early days. You can:
Still not ready for production or storing anything sensitive — but that’s the goal.
How to Get Involved
Want to help? Here’s how:
bash
git clone
cd Shadow
# Follow the README to set up Flutter and Python

Why ShadowBox?
With all the data breaches and privacy concerns out there, it’s hard to trust big-name cloud storage platforms. ShadowBox is my attempt to build something different — a secure, open-source alternative that gives users full control over their files.
The idea is simple: strong encryption, a clean interface, and the potential for decentralized storage using IPFS.
Right now, it’s a working prototype with:
- A Flutter-based mobile app (also works on web)
- A Python/Flask backend
- AES-256 file encryption
I’m looking for collaborators — devs, testers, designers, privacy folks — anyone who’s interested in making this better.
What ShadowBox Offers
Here’s what’s working now, and what’s planned:
- AES-256 Encryption: Files are encrypted before they leave your device.
- Cross-Platform Support: Thanks to Flutter, it runs on iOS, Android, and web.
- Decentralized Storage (Coming Soon): We’re exploring IPFS integration.
- Open Source: Fully transparent, contributions welcome.
- Simple UI: Focused on usability, not complexity.
- Frontend: Flutter (Dart)
- Backend: Flask (Python)
- Encryption: AES-256 (client-side)
- Storage: Local for now — IPFS coming soon
Check out the GitHub repo for the code and setup instructions.
Current Status
It's early days. You can:
- Upload/download encrypted files
- Try out the basic UI and encryption flow
- Dig into the code and suggest improvements
Still not ready for production or storing anything sensitive — but that’s the goal.
How to Get Involved
Want to help? Here’s how:
- Dev? We need help with Flutter UI, backend stuff, encryption, IPFS integration. There are issues on GitHub — some are beginner-friendly.
- Tester? Give it a try, break it, tell us what’s broken.
- Designer? UI/UX feedback would be amazing.
- Privacy fan? Share it, talk about it, join the conversation.
