## Description

Send files and folders to any device — phone, PC, Mac, Linux, or web browser. No signup, no account, no size limit. FileBolt is a fast, end-to-end encrypted peer-to-peer file transfer app for everyone.<br><br>Pair two devices with a 6-digit code or a QR scan, then send photos, videos, documents, APKs, ZIPs, or whole folders directly. On the same Wi-Fi, FileBolt uses LAN discovery for full local network speed. On different networks, it falls back to an encrypted internet relay so the transfer still completes — even behind strict firewalls.<br><br>Your files go directly between devices over WebRTC with DTLS-SRTP end-to-end encryption. They never sit on our servers. We do not store, scan, or see what you send.<br><br>KEY FEATURES<br><br>• Send any file or folder — no size limit, no compression<br>• No account, no signup, no login, no email<br>• End-to-end encrypted (WebRTC DTLS-SRTP)<br>• Pair instantly with a 6-digit code or QR code<br>• LAN discovery for fast same-Wi-Fi transfers<br>• Internet relay fallback (TURN) for restrictive networks<br>• Truly cross-platform: Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, Web<br>• Send from phone to PC, PC to phone, or phone to phone<br>• Free, with no ads inside transfers<br><br>WHY FILEBOLT<br><br>Most file sharing apps want your email, push ads, or upload your files to the cloud first. FileBolt does none of that. Files move peer-to-peer between the sender and the receiver. If both devices are on the same Wi-Fi, the transfer never leaves your local network. If they are not, the relay only forwards encrypted data — we cannot read it.<br><br>There is no upload step and no waiting for a cloud round trip. The transfer starts as soon as the other side accepts.<br><br>USE CASES<br><br>• Move photos and videos from your Android phone to a Windows or Mac computer<br>• Send large video files, game captures, or design files between laptops<br>• Share an APK, PDF, or ZIP with a friend without a messenger app re-compressing it<br>• Transfer a folder of project files between Linux and macOS<br>• Send a file from your phone to a desktop in another office through the encrypted relay<br>• Receive files in a browser tab on any device without installing anything<br><br>HOW IT WORKS<br><br>1. Open FileBolt on both devices (or open the web app on the receiver).<br>2. Show or scan a QR code, or type the 6-digit pair code.<br>3. Pick the files or folders to send and tap Send.<br>4. The receiver accepts and the transfer starts directly between devices.<br><br>PRIVACY<br><br>• No account creation, ever<br>• No tracking of file names or contents<br>• End-to-end encryption on every transfer, local and relayed<br>• Open peer-to-peer protocol — your data does not get stored on our infrastructure<br><br>CROSS-PLATFORM<br><br>FileBolt runs on Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, and any modern web browser. The same pair code works across all of them, so you can send a file from your Android phone to a MacBook, a Linux desktop, or a friend&#39;s browser tab with one flow.<br><br>PERMISSIONS<br><br>FileBolt asks only for what it needs to send and receive files: storage access to read the files you choose, and local network access for LAN discovery. Camera access is optional and is only used when you scan a pair QR code.<br><br>Whether you are moving a folder of 4K videos to your editing PC, sending an APK to a tester, or just getting a photo off your phone without a USB cable, FileBolt aims to be the simplest, most private way to do it.<br><br>Free. No signup. No size limit. No cloud.<br><br>Download FileBolt and send your first file in under 30 seconds.<br><br><br>Privacy Policy: https://filebolt.app/privacy/<br>Terms Of Service: https://filebolt.app/terms/
