  • share-file-systems

    Use a Windows/OSX like GUI in the browser to share files cross OS privately. No cloud, no server, no third party.

  • I wrote a similar concept around private internet access to your file system. It’s at https://github.com/prettydiff/share-file-systems

    The window and state management can be demoed on my personal site at https://prettydiff.com

  • daedalOS

    Desktop environment in the browser

  • If you want some Browserception, my desktop environment (https://dustinbrett.com/) can indeed do this. But after a few levels in Chromium you need to add a random query string (/?a=1) to the URL otherwise it stops working.
