Getting Started with DragBin

Welcome to DragBin! This guide will help you get started with secure cloud storage and file sharing.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Visit app.dragbin.com/signup to create your DragBin account. You'll need to provide an email address and create a strong password. Remember, due to our zero-knowledge architecture, we cannot recover your files if you lose your password, so choose something memorable but secure.

Important: Keep your password safe! DragBin uses zero-knowledge encryption, which means we cannot access your files or reset your password. Consider using a password manager.

Step 2: Upload Your First File

Once you're logged in, you can upload files in several ways:

  • Drag and Drop: Simply drag files from your computer into the DragBin web interface
  • Upload Button: Click the "Upload" button and select files from your computer
  • Desktop App: Install our desktop app for automatic syncing (recommended)

All files are automatically encrypted on your device before being uploaded to our servers. This process happens seamlessly in the background.

Step 3: Install Desktop and Mobile Apps

For the best experience, install our desktop and mobile applications:

Desktop Apps

  • • Windows 10/11
  • • macOS 10.15+
  • • Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS)
Download Desktop App

Mobile Apps

Step 4: Understand DragBin's Security

DragBin's security model is built on three key principles:

  • End-to-End Encryption: Files are encrypted on your device before upload
  • Zero-Knowledge Architecture: We cannot access your files, even if we wanted to
  • Quantum-Resistant Encryption: Protected against future quantum computing threats
