An application I am working on now already provides file system GUI in the browser with utilities like hashing for both local file systems and those in other devices. I do not provide support for compression yet, like a zip, but I plan to.

That's great. Do you handle big files and do you use the native crypto api?

It handles files of any size because file copy is a binary stream. It’s the best way to preserve integrity. Crypto is from OpenSSH which ships with Nodejs.
