 The [sendsh.it](https://sendsh.it/) client-side javascript will read and encrypt a file in your browser using the [Triplesec](http://keybase.github.io/triplesec/) library with a random key generated by its PRNG.
 
-The encrypted file is then uploaded to the backend node.js application which stores it in mongo's [GridFS](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/gridfs/) and returns a unique ID. This is combined with your generated key to produce a unique url you can share with someone else. Once they visit the url the site will download the file and decrypt it in their browser.
