Secure File Sharing
Share files securely with peer-to-peer WebRTC connections. No server storage, complete privacy.
About Secure File Sharing
Overview
Secure File Sharing enables direct peer-to-peer file transfers between browsers using WebRTC technology. Share files of any size securely without uploading to any server. All transfers are encrypted and happen directly between you and your peer, ensuring complete privacy and faster transfer speeds compared to traditional upload-download methods.
Features
- Direct peer-to-peer file transfers using WebRTC technology
- No file size limits - transfer files of any size
- Multiple file transfer support - send multiple files at once
- Real-time transfer progress with percentage indicators
- Drag and drop file upload interface
- Transfer history showing all sent and received files
- Automatic file download for received files
- Room-based connection with simple 6-character codes
- End-to-end encrypted connections - your files are never stored on our servers
- Works completely in-browser - no software installation required
- Cross-platform support - works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android
How to Use
- Click "Create Room" to generate a unique 6-character room code
- Share the room code with the person you want to share files with (via email, chat, phone, etc.)
- The other person clicks "Join Room" and enters your room code to establish a secure connection
- Once connected, drag and drop files or click "Select Files" to choose files from your device
- Click "Send Files" to transfer selected files directly to your peer
- Received files appear in the transfer history with a download button to save them to your device
FAQ
How secure are my file transfers?
Extremely secure. WebRTC uses DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) encryption for all data transfers. Files are sent directly between browsers without passing through any server. We cannot see, access, or store your files at any point. The room codes are safe to share as they only enable connection establishment, not file access.
What file types and sizes can I transfer?
You can transfer any file type without restrictions - documents, images, videos, archives, executables, etc. There is no file size limit imposed by our tool. However, transfer speeds depend on your internet connection, and very large files (several gigabytes) may take considerable time to transfer.
Why do I need to share a room code?
WebRTC requires an initial signaling process where peers exchange connection information. The room code allows the second peer to retrieve the connection credentials from our signaling server. This is the only time our server is involved - after connection establishment, all file transfers happen directly between browsers.
Can I transfer files to multiple people simultaneously?
Currently, each room supports a one-to-one connection between two peers. To share files with multiple people, you would need to create separate rooms for each person or have them join sequentially. This limitation ensures optimal transfer speeds and connection stability.
What happens if my internet connection drops during transfer?
If either peer loses internet connection or closes their browser, the WebRTC connection will be terminated immediately and any ongoing transfers will fail. You will need to create a new room and re-establish the connection to resume file sharing. Completed transfers before the disconnection will remain accessible to download.
