Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about DirectFileTransfer

DirectFileTransfer uses WebRTC technology to create a direct peer-to-peer connection between your device and the recipient's device. Files are transferred directly without being uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and faster transfer speeds.

Yes. Files transfer directly between devices using encrypted WebRTC connections with end-to-end encryption. We never see or store your files. The data never passes through our servers - only the initial connection handshake uses our signaling server.

No. You can transfer files of any size. However, both devices must remain connected and active throughout the transfer. Larger files will take longer depending on your internet connection speed.

Yes. Since transfers are peer-to-peer, both sender and receiver must be connected simultaneously with the tab/window active. If the connection drops, you'll need to start a new transfer.

Yes. DirectFileTransfer works on all modern browsers including mobile Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. Keep the browser tab active and your screen on during transfers to prevent connection drops.

If the connection drops during a transfer, you'll need to start over. To ensure successful transfers, keep both devices connected with active browser tabs and avoid switching tabs or locking screens during the transfer.

Both connect the receiver to your file. The Link is a URL you can share via any messaging app — the receiver just clicks it. The PIN is an 8-digit code the receiver enters on our site. Use the link for convenience, or the PIN when you prefer not to share a URL (e.g., over a phone call).

Transfer speed depends on your internet connection, particularly the upload speed of the sender and download speed of the receiver. Typically, you can expect 1-10 MB/s. Since it's a direct connection, there's no server bottleneck slowing things down.
