AnonDrop Backup

Encrypted project backups to anondrop.io and anondrop.net straight from VS Code. Zero dependencies.

How it works

  1. Your workspace is packed in memory into a password-protected AES-256 zip (WinZip AE-2, opens in 7-Zip, WinRAR, Keka, etc.).
  2. A fresh random 28-character password is generated for every backup.
  3. The archive is uploaded in chunks with per-chunk retry, then downloaded back once to verify the SHA-256 hash matches 1:1.
  4. Nothing is kept on disk except the link and password inside your local vault (~/.anondrop-vscode).

Usage

Open the AnonDrop icon in the activity bar:

  • Cloud upload icon — run a manual backup now.
  • Expand any backup — browse folders and files inside the remote archive.
  • Click any file — open a side-by-side diff against your local file.
  • Restore — restore a single file, a folder, or the whole backup from the inline buttons or context menu.
  • ... menu — toggle auto-backup, copy your account key, or export/import your vault JSON.

Settings

Setting Default Description
anondrop.server anondrop.io Upload target (anondrop.io or anondrop.net)
anondrop.autoBackup false Run scheduled backups for this project (skips if nothing changed)
anondrop.intervalMinutes 30 Auto-backup interval in minutes
anondrop.includeGitIgnored false Include files matched by .gitignore
anondrop.includeEnvFiles false Include .env* files (.env.example is always included)

Vault note

Backup links and passwords only exist in your local vault (~/.anondrop-vscode/vault.json + OS keychain). Use Export Vault from the ... menu to keep a copy safe.
