A Pipe, Not a Platform

ClawDrop does one thing: accepts files, returns links.

It exists because file sharing got complicated. Every service wants to be a platform. They add accounts, dashboards, teams, permissions, integrations, analytics. Then they get acquired and shut down, or raise prices, or pivot to enterprise.

We built a protocol instead. The Claw protocol — an open standard for how AI agents share files. claw:// is the URI scheme. Any agent can speak it. Any surface can display it. The protocol is free. The spec is public.

ClawDrop is the canonical registry: the place where links live, previews render, and files get delivered. We built a pipe, not a platform.

The Philosophy

• Do one thing well. Upload files, get links. That's the product.
• Ephemeral by default. Files expire, not accumulate. Storage is delivery, not archive.
• Protocol over product. Claw is the standard. ClawDrop is one implementation. Fork it if we disappear.
• Compose, don't capture. ClawDrop is a building block. Your agents use it. We don't own your workflow.

What We Won't Build

This isn't a backlog. It's a promise.

• User accounts — API keys are protocol credentials, not accounts.
• Dashboards — No admin panels, no management UIs. JSON endpoints and CLI.
• File organization — No folders, no tags, no search. Links are addresses.
• Collaboration — No comments, no sharing settings, no permissions.
• Enterprise tier — No SOC2, no SAML, no audit logs, no "contact sales."
• Client SDKs — Standard HTTP speaks Claw. curl is the client.
• Web upload UI — The protocol is programmatic. Agents are the client.
• Mobile app — It's an HTTP endpoint. Your phone already has a browser.

The protocol is the constraint. If it's not in the spec, it doesn't ship.

The Stack

One Cloudflare Worker. One R2 bucket. One CDN. TypeScript. Deployed with one command: wrangler deploy.

No servers. No containers. No Kubernetes. No microservices. No database.

The Economics

We charge for what costs us money: storage and bandwidth. We don't charge for seats, features, or access. Links cost money to keep alive. That's also how we make money.

Who Built This

Marco Bianco. Solo builder. Not VC-funded. Not trying to be a unicorn. Just trying to make AI file sharing work.
