How File Transfer Works
Select the file you want to share to generate a room code or QR code.
Share the link or code with the recipient.
Stream the file directly device-to-device with end-to-end encryption.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does browser-to-browser P2P file transfer work?
Select your file, share the generated 6-digit room code or QR code with the recipient, and the file streams directly from your device to theirs across an encrypted WebRTC data channel.
Are my shared files uploaded to or stored on your servers?
No. Files never touch any server. Data flows directly between the two connected web browsers over an encrypted peer-to-peer tunnel.
What is the file size limit for peer-to-peer sharing?
There are zero artificial file size limits! You can transfer 1GB, 10GB, or even 50GB files directly, limited only by your local network bandwidth.
Is peer-to-peer file sharing encrypted?
Yes. WebRTC mandates end-to-end encryption using DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) and SRTP protocols. No third party can inspect your transfer.
Can I transfer files between different operating systems?
Yes. You can transfer files seamlessly between iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, and Chromebooks through any standard web browser.
Do both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi network?
No. The connection works across different Wi-Fi networks, mobile 5G/LTE data, and Ethernet connections via standard WebRTC NAT traversal.
How fast is P2P file transfer compared to cloud drives like Google Drive?
On the same local Wi-Fi network, transfers achieve direct LAN speeds (50-100+ MB/s) without wasting internet data. Across the internet, it eliminates cloud upload queues.
Do I or the recipient need to create an account or install an app?
No. Neither sender nor recipient needs to register, sign in, or install any software. Just open the link or scan the QR code.
Can I transfer entire folders or multiple files at once?
Yes. You can select multiple files or folders simultaneously, and they will be queued and transferred automatically.
What happens if a transfer is interrupted by a network drop?
The WebRTC engine attempts automatic reconnection and resumes transfer chunks seamlessly.
Does the recipient need to keep their browser tab open during transfer?
Yes. Because data streams directly between active browsers in real time, both sender and recipient must keep the tab open until the transfer completes.
Are room codes and connection links reusable or permanent?
No. Connection rooms are ephemeral and self-destruct as soon as the session ends or both tabs close.
Does peer-to-peer sharing consume my cellular data plan?
If both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, data travels strictly over local LAN with zero cellular or internet data usage.
Is P2P file transfer free?
Yes, 100% free with unlimited transfers and zero speed throttling.
Why is P2P sharing safer than cloud storage services?
Cloud storage providers retain copies of your files on their hard drives where they are vulnerable to server breaches. P2P leaves no trace on any server.
