Arbore Save

Arbore is a peer-to-peer file sharing application with the following caracteristics:

• targeted for private/low diffusion data between people that know each-others. Main use case: friends want to share between each-others their holidays pictures.
• low friction: it should be as easy as possible
• encryption should be used to maintain privacy and to control the diffusion of the data

This application is build on top of IPFS.
