Peer-to-peer file transfers in your browser Cooked up by Alex Kern & Neeraj Baid while eating Sliver @ UC Berkeley.
Using WebRTC, FilePizza eliminates the initial upload step required by other web-based file sharing services. When senders initialize a transfer, they receive a “tempalink” they can distribute to recipients. Upon visiting this link, recipients’ browsers connect directly to the sender’s browser and may begin downloading the selected file. Because data is never stored in an intermediary server, the transfer is fast, private, and secure. (Your PC must be online while the recipient download the file(s), if you shutdown the PC or goes offline, the download also stops)
You can selfhost it or use the official instance
a similar tool existed 4 years ago https://www.sharedrop.io/
Yes, there are several p2p apps. Some years ago I used O&O FileDirect, which is very good, free, private (by deinition in this type o sharing), fast and easy to handle, but it’s proprietary soft by an German company and Windows only.
