End-to-end encryption
With --e2e (or the panel's switch), the CLI or the browser encrypts with AES-256-GCM and puts the key
in the link's #k= fragment, which browsers never send to the server. share keeps ciphertext and file
names only. Anyone with the full link can open it; lose the fragment and nobody can.
