Faster sharing with devices you use regularly

Personal Devices

Save your own computers, mobiles, or tablets for quicker transfers. Personal devices can connect without repeated approval and can use an encrypted pickup inbox when a device is offline.

Open Personal Devices

Trusted Devices

Save known devices you use repeatedly. You can keep approval enabled for each transfer or turn it off for a device you fully trust.

Open Trusted Devices
Private by design

Every workflow makes the participating devices and file direction visible.

Right method, right moment

Use live transfer, public receiving, broadcast, or delayed pickup as needed.

Simple actions

Scan, approve, send, receive, or pick up—without creating an account.

No quality loss

FileDost transfers the original file bytes without resizing, recompressing, or re-encoding.

How FileDost file sharing works

Does FileDost require an account or registration?

No. The main FileDost sharing workflows use device codes, QR codes, and approval instead of user accounts or contact registration.

How do Scan & Send and Scan & Receive work?

The computer displays a QR code. Scan & Send lets the computer send selected files to the scanning mobile device. Scan & Receive lets the scanning mobile device select files and send them to the computer.

Does FileDost reduce image, video, audio, or document quality?

No. FileDost does not resize, recompress, or re-encode files. It transfers the original file bytes, so file quality is not reduced during transfer.

How is FileDost encrypted?

Direct live transfers use the encrypted transport provided by the browser WebRTC connection. Personal Devices pickup packages are encrypted in the browser with AES-GCM before upload. Temporary public receiving and pickup workflows should be hosted over HTTPS and protected with their access codes and expiry controls.

What is the FileDost file size limit?

In the default configuration, Receive Files allows up to 1 GB per file and 5 GB per receiving desk. Park & Pick Up Later allows up to 1 GB per file and 3 GB per package. Direct live transfer has no separate FileDost per-file limit, but practical limits depend on the browser, device memory, network, and hosting configuration.

Are direct-transfer files stored on the FileDost server?

Direct live transfers use a browser-to-browser connection and the file bytes are not intentionally stored by FileDost. Workflows such as Park & Pick Up Later and Receive Files use temporary server storage because both devices do not need to remain connected at the same time.

What are Personal Devices and Trusted Devices?

Personal Devices are your own saved devices and can use an encrypted pickup inbox without repeated approval. Trusted Devices are known saved devices; approval can remain enabled or be disabled for a device you fully trust.

Can one file be sent to several devices?

Yes. Broadcast Files sends the same original file from one computer to multiple approved receiver devices through separate browser connections.

How does Share with Anyone protect a transfer?

One device creates a short joining code, the other device joins, and the creator approves the connection before files can move in either direction.
