Particularly, the communications do not require centralized storage. Exemplary implementations may: store information electronically, including different types of client-specific information, hardware information, key information, and permission information; receive a communication request from a first user; transfer a response to the communication request; receive a status check request from the second user; transfer a response to the status check request; receive a transfer request from the second user; transfer a response to the transfer request; receive a status request from the first user; and transfer a response to the status request. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system configured to facilitate asynchronous establishment of a secured point-to-point connection between a first client computing platform having first non-centralized storage associated with a first user and a second client computing platform having second non-centralized storage associated with a second user, wherein the secured point-to-point connection facilitates communication between the first user and the second user without requiring centralized storage, the system comprising: an authorization platform having one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to: receive a communication request from the first user via the first client computing platform, wherein the communication request includes: (i) a first machine identifier associated with the first client computing platform, (ii) a payload identifier that identifies a payload on the first non-centralized storage, and (iii) a recipient identifier that identifies the second user as intended recipient of the payload; transfer a first response to the communication request to the first client computing platform, wherein the first response indicates the communication request has been accepted by the authorization platform; receive a status check request from the second user via the second client computing platform, wherein the status check request includes a second machine identifier associated with the second client computing platform; transfer a second response to the status check request to the second client computing platform, wherein the second response indicates the status check request has been accepted by the authorization platform; receive a transfer request from the second user via the second client computing platform, wherein the transfer request identifies the communication request; and transfer a third response to the transfer request to the second client computing platform, wherein the third response indicates the transfer request has been accepted by the authorization platform; and wherein the first client computing platform and the second client computing platform are configured to: securely establish the secured point-to-point connection between the first client computing platform and the second client computing platform in accordance with the communication request for the communication of the payload; and securely communicate the payload from the first non-centralized storage of the first client computing platform to the second non-centralized storage of the second client computing platform. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the first response includes a first standard HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) status code. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the second response includes a second standard HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) status code, and wherein the second response includes particular information that identifies the communication request. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the second client computing platform is configured to store the payload in the second non-centralized storage. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the communication request further includes a client-provided user identifier that identifies the first user, and wherein the first machine identifier is associated with a first public key that is used for Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein receiving the status check request is performed periodically, and wherein receiving the status check is performed periodically. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the communication request is a share request, and wherein the asynchronous secured point-to-point communications are used for peer-to-peer file sharing between the first user and the second user. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the payload identifier represents a folder array including multiple file folders, wherein the payload includes electronic files in the multiple file folders, wherein the electronic files are stored on the first non-centralized storage. ### Claim 9 A method of facilitating asynchronous establishment of a secured point-to-point connection between a first client computing platform having first non-centralized storage associated with a first user and a second client computing platform having second non-centralized storage associated with a second user, wherein the secured point-to-point connection facilitates communication between the first user and the second user without requiring centralized storage, the method comprising: receiving a communication request from the first user via the first client computing platform, wherein the communication request includes: (i) a first machine identifier associated with the first client computing platform, (ii) a payload identifier that identifies a payload on the first non-centralized storage, and (iii) a recipient identifier that identifies the second user as intended recipient of the payload; transferring a first response to the communication request to the first client computing platform, wherein the first response indicates the communication request has been accepted; receiving a status check request from the second user via the second client computing platform, wherein the status check request includes a second machine identifier associated with the second client computing platform; transferring a second response to the status check request to the second client computing platform, wherein the second response indicates the status check request has been accepted; receiving a transfer request from the second user via the second client computing platform, wherein the transfer request identifies the communication request; transferring a third response to the transfer request to the second client computing platform, wherein the third response indicates the transfer request has been accepted; securely establishing, by the first client computing platform and the second client computing platform, the secured point-to-point connection between the first client computing platform and the second client computing platform in accordance with the communication request for the communication of the payload; and securely communicating the payload from the first non-centralized storage of the first client computing platform to the second non-centralized storage of the second client computing platform. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the first response includes a first standard HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) status code. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the second response includes a second standard HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), and wherein the second response includes particular information that identifies the communication request. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising: storing the payload in the second non-centralized storage. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the communication request further includes a client-provided user identifier that identifies the first user, and wherein the first machine identifier is associated with a first public key that is used for Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein receiving the status check request is performed periodically, and wherein receiving the status check is performed periodically. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the communication request is a share request, and wherein the asynchronous secured point-to-point communications are used for peer-to-peer file sharing between the first user and the second user. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the payload identifier represents a folder array including multiple file folders, wherein the payload includes electronic files in the multiple file folders, wherein the electronic files are stored on the first non-centralized storage.
