Entity & Overview

About ShareOnline

ShareOnline is a browser-based peer-to-peer file transfer service designed for direct file sharing between devices.

Product Overview

ShareOnline is a free, browser-based peer-to-peer file transfer application that allows users to send files directly between phones, computers, and tablets using QR codes or room codes, without requiring an account or permanent cloud file storage.

Rather than following the traditional industry model of uploading user files to remote cloud data centers, ShareOnline uses open web standards (WebRTC) to turn web browsers into temporary, direct communication endpoints.

Our Product Philosophy

Modern file sharing has become bloated with friction. Simple tasks like transferring a video from a smartphone to a laptop now routinely require installing proprietary mobile apps, creating new accounts, signing into cloud drives, or searching for USB cables.

We built ShareOnline around three foundational principles:

Zero Custody: We believe that file transfer services should never hold or inspect user files. By establishing direct browser-to-browser pipes, your data remains solely in the custody of the devices participating in the exchange.
Zero Friction: File sharing should take seconds, not minutes. No accounts, no password verification, no cookie tracking walls, and no software installations.
Open Web Standards: We leverage native browser capabilities (WebRTC, DTLS, SCTP, HTML5 File API) to ensure universal interoperability across all operating systems without vendor lock-in.

Commitment to Transparency

We believe in technical honesty. We do not make false claims of "unlimited file sizes" without acknowledging browser memory constraints, nor do we claim "unhackable encryption" without explaining the exact cryptographic protocols (DTLS) and network metadata realities (IP discovery via ICE candidates).
