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

Three tiers: Free ($0), Pro ($12/mo), and Studio ($49/mo). Free links expire after 7 days. Paid tiers unlock permanent links, bigger files, and more storage. We don't charge for seats, features, or access — just for keeping links alive.

Who Built This

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