I glanced through this but was a little unclear on the use case. Is this like a Dropbox replacement?

Basically its a way to share files or access to an application or server without needing to mess with any networking stuff (like port forwarding, buying and setting up a human readable domain name, etc.).
For example: You can spin up a website on a raspberry pi and use zrok to generate a url for it. Now anyone with the url can access it like a normal website. You can apparently also make the website private so that only those with the url, zrok, and the private share token can access it.
Another example: Zrok can also generate a download link to a file you own. The link can be public or private as well.

So more like magic wormhole but with a gateway function. Cool. Might be good for bypassing those pesky you can’t host a website in your home connection type internet provider problems since technically you aren’t.
