I have no idea what I am doing, but after uploading a text file, that dweg.page thing tells me to share this link:

https://untangle.care/ipfs/QmaSpmvTr68z3EgTp2XFZdBzc1HwNPQXW...

And this password:

xngojhmH10zb2oLA7COya6pHZ3qkmQAJuX7cwqBkRJM

Ok, so now I kind of published my haiku in encrypted form on IPFS? Why was it encrypted?

I tried to redownload it from one of the other ipfs gateways, but so for to no avail. Any ideas how to do it?

I definitely need to improve the user experience of this switch between public and private. Ideas are highly appreciated!
Include the password in the URL fragment like mega.co.nz does.

I built something similar actually, you might want to look at it:

Source: https://github.com/CGamesPlay/ipfs-fileshare

Published version: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmaP8v2wzJjbcvnhkJRaecCrHDGAQdYHcr6MH3Y...

Example encrypted file: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmaP8v2wzJjbcvnhkJRaecCrHDGAQdYHcr6MH3Y...

(I wrote this a while ago and it doesn't seem to be working at the moment :-/)

Perhaps you need to click the "public/private" switch before uploading?

This allows you to share content without a password.
