Transfer Files Between Any Devices
Connect phones, computers, and tablets across operating systems in seconds. No USB cables, Bluetooth pairing issues, or cloud storage required.
The Cross-Platform Ecosystem Dilemma
Operating system vendors design proprietary file sharing protocols optimized exclusively for their own walled gardens: Apple AirDrop works only between Apple devices, Google Quick Share primarily targets Android and ChromeOS, and Microsoft Nearby Sharing requires Windows.
When you need to send a video from an Android phone to a MacBook, or a presentation from a Windows PC to an iPad, proprietary protocols fail. Users are left emailing attachments to themselves or searching for USB cables.
Universal Browser-Based Device Pairing
ShareOnline provides an open, universal bridge between all platforms. Because it operates entirely within modern web standards (WebRTC and HTML5), any two devices with a web browser can transfer files directly to each other:
- Supported Desktop Operating Systems: Windows 10/11, macOS, Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch), ChromeOS.
- Supported Mobile Operating Systems: iOS (iPhone & iPad), Android (all modern versions).
- Supported Browsers: Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Opera.

How Device-to-Device Transfer Works
- Open ShareOnline on Device 1: Select the file you want to send. ShareOnline creates an instant room code and QR code.
- Connect from Device 2: Scan the QR code using Device 2 camera or enter the 6-digit room code in its browser.
- Direct Stream: The file transfers directly between both devices through an encrypted WebRTC data channel.
