Filester is the fastest way to send files directly between your devices — no cloud middleman, no upload wait, no expiring links. Pair two devices with a short 6-character code or a QR scan, then drag in any file. Transfers go peer-to-peer over WebRTC, end-to-end encrypted, with nothing stored on a server. WHY FILESTER • Direct device-to-device transfers — no cloud, no uploads • End-to-end encrypted with WebRTC DTLS-SRTP • Works across Wi-Fi, mobile data, or different networks • Send any file, any size — no expiring links • Pair by 6-character code or QR scan • Live transfer progress for big files • You can send the files to directly https://file.tc website via qr HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Filester on both devices 2. Enter the 6-character code shown on the receiver (or scan its QR) 3. Drag in files or pick from your library — they arrive directly PRIVACY FIRST Filester never uploads your files to the cloud. Transfers travel directly between your devices, end-to-end encrypted. The server only helps the two devices find each other — it never sees your files. Made for people who move files between phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops every day — students, designers, photographers, developers, and anyone tired of waiting on cloud uploads or hunting for cables.
