This is close to something I keep meaning to make.

It would be awesome if I could download the file without the password to verify that it's stored encrypted though.



That could be faked. The best way to ensure I'm not cheating is to watch the network requests and to look at the code (https://github.com/STRML/securesha.re-client/tree/master/jqu...).

You'll see the POST to the server going up encrypted, and the subsequent GET when you download the file coming down encrypted as a binary XHR.
