Send files of any size,
instantly & free.
No account. No upload wait. No size limit. Your file streams peer-to-peer, end-to-end encrypted, and nothing ever touches a server.
Sender tab must stay open: their screen must stay awake, the file streams live from their device.
Only connect to people you trust: files arrive directly, we never scan or store them.
Real peer-to-peer.
Not just marketing.
A lot of services call themselves "peer-to-peer" while still uploading your file to a server somewhere in the middle. TransferFiles.net is built on WebRTC, the same browser technology behind video calls, to create a genuine direct connection between two devices. Your file moves from one browser straight to another.
Because there's no server relay, the connection is encrypted end-to-end with DTLS-SRTP, the same protocol securing video calls. Nobody, including us, can see the contents of what's being transferred.
Built different. Actually free.
Files never touch our servers. That eliminates our costs and your limits.
End-to-End Encrypted
WebRTC's mandatory DTLS-SRTP encryption. On by default, cannot be disabled. Nobody reads your files in transit.
No Upload Wait
Files stream instantly the moment the receiver connects. No waiting for an upload to complete first.
No Size Limit
Most free transfer plans cap you at 2 to 15 GB. We cap nothing. Send 4K videos, project folders, 50 GB archives.
Any Device
iPhone to Android, Mac to Windows, tablet to desktop. Any combination, any modern browser.
No Account Ever
No sign-up, no email, no password. Open the page, pick a file, share the link. Done.
Always Free
No bandwidth bill means no pricing tiers. We cover costs through display ads. No paywall, ever.

Questions about peer to peer file sharing
We use WebRTC's data channel API to open a direct connection between the sender's and receiver's browsers. Once that connection is established, file data flows directly between the two, the same underlying technology used for video calls.
Yes. Because there's no server holding the file in between, the sender's tab needs to stay open and connected for the duration of the transfer.
Yes, structurally. Cloud storage tools have to store your file somewhere, which means it exists on a server you don't control, even temporarily. A true peer-to-peer transfer never creates that copy.
Yes. WebRTC uses STUN/TURN relay infrastructure to establish a connection even when both devices are behind different routers or firewalls, similar to how a video call connects two people on different networks.
