JonDonym is offering its premium costumers a highly anonymous file sharing service. The JonDonym Storage uses the software Tahoe-LAFS. Several verified mix operators and the JonDos GmbH provide the nodes of the storage grid. Uploads are distributed over randomly chosen nodes and stored encrypted so that no node operator can reconstruct the content of the files. The anonymity of uploaders and downloaders is guaranteed by JonDonym's premium services.
Beta-testers have explicitly confirmed the system's suitaility for whistleblowing purposes. Whistleblowers may provide files anonymously and can send the download links via anonymous e-mails or can post them in forums or blogs afterwards. Help for using e-mail anonymously can be found in our online help or in the wiki.
The service is not designed as a backup service. The uploads are not saved permanently. Rather, they are deleted automatically after 4 weeks. We reserve the right to extend the storage period depending on the capacity used.
