Infinite file sharing.
Directly from your hard drive.
Webshare streams your files, nested folders, and zipped archives directly from your machine to your recipient's device. No cloud storage limits, no monthly storage fees, and complete end-to-end encryption.
How Local P2P Sharing Works
No third-party uploads. Stream files straight from your device to the recipient.
Select Files or Folders
Drag and drop files, entire directory trees, or auto-bundle them into a single high-compression ZIP archive with optional password protection.
Share Dropbox-Style Link
Generate unique share links with automatic download (/L1), interactive preview (/L2), or 6-digit room PINs & QR codes.
Direct P2P Streaming
Data streams encrypted at full line speed directly between browsers and desktop companions, and caches securely in the recipient's Local Vault.
Transfer at Gigabit Speeds,
Even Without Internet.
Plug two computers together via an Ethernet cable or connect to the same local WiFi router. Webshare auto-discovers nearby nodes and transfers multi-gigabyte files at physical line speeds.
