Distore is a CLI tool to use Discord as your own encrypted file storage.

It can also be consumed as a library through the API.

Get Started

1) Install with npm:
``shell
npm i -g distore
`



2) Run distore the first time to auto-generate an encryption key & configuration file .distore/config.json in your home directory.

Distore requires a Discord Webhook URL and a Deta Base collection key to work. You must update these entries in the configuration file before proceeding to the next step, or use the CLI:
`shell
distore config deta_api_key
distore config webhook
`



3) Run distore help to get a list of commands and usage:

`console
Usage: Distore [options] [command]

Fast, unlimited, encrypted storage on Discord

Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-h, --help display help for command

Commands:
upload [options] [destination] Uploads a file to the virtual filesystem
download [options] [destination] Downloads a file from the virtual filesystem to disk
delete Deletes a file in the virtual filesystem
config Updates the configuration file
help [command] display help for command
`

Note: Paths in the virtual filesystem must follow Unix path syntax (for eg. /Movies/Jurassic Park.mp4`). This does not apply to local files, which may use the OS-specific path syntax.

Why?

- Discord has no limits on file storage in a server
- Bypasses 25MiB file size limit by splitting files into chunks
- End-to-end encryption using 256 bit AES-GCM (Discord by default does not have E2EE)
- Guarantees file integrity and no tampering
- Parallely uploads/downloads chunks for maximising bandwidth

Caveats

- Do not save sensitive, important files in Discord for archival, as Discord reserves the right to delete messages/servers/accounts at any time.
- Do not share your configuration file with untrusted third parties; Doing so will allow them full access to your virtual filesystem.
