    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Enables real-time, peer-to-peer file sharing from one device to many without size limits using encrypted WebRTC connections.
    • Ensures privacy by never routing file contents through a server and supports large files with memory-efficient streaming.
    • Use for instantly sharing large files across multiple devices on local or wide networks without installing software.
    • Use for self-hosting a secure, private file sharing service with Docker and automatic HTTPS via Caddy and Let's Encrypt.
    • Use for sending files to multiple recipients simultaneously via browser links or QR codes without requiring accounts.
