Send a File

Create a link, choose files, and let the opener download them.

Share the link only with the person who should download the files. Some networks block direct connections, so a valid link can still fail to connect.

Create a random link and choose the files in this browser. Send the link to one person. When they open it, the files move directly to their browser for download. This site only passes the connection setup, then drops it. File bytes are not uploaded or stored.

Create a link, choose files, and send the link. Whoever opens it can download them.

Does the file upload to your server?

File bytes stay between the two browsers. This site keeps a short-lived connection setup in memory so the browsers can find each other, then deletes it. The file is never written to disk here.

Does this site store the file?

No. The file bytes move only between the two browsers. This site passes a short connection setup in memory and then deletes it. A file body sent to the setup address is rejected.
