Scan the QR code shown on the computer with a mobile device, select files on the mobile, and send them to the computer.
Scan the QR code shown on the computer with a mobile device, then select files on the computer and send them to the mobile.
Exchange a six-letter code, approve the other device, and then share files in either direction.
Send the same files from your computer to several approved participant devices at the same time.
Create a receiving session so multiple devices can send files into one organised receiving desk.
Park files now and use a pickup code to retrieve them later on another device you control.
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.
Save known devices you use repeatedly. You can keep approval enabled for each transfer or turn it off for a device you fully trust.
Every workflow makes the participating devices and file direction visible.
Use live transfer, public receiving, broadcast, or delayed pickup as needed.
Scan, approve, send, receive, or pick up—without creating an account.
FileDost transfers the original file bytes without resizing, recompressing, or re-encoding.
No. The main FileDost sharing workflows use device codes, QR codes, and approval instead of user accounts or contact registration.
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.
No. FileDost does not resize, recompress, or re-encode files. It transfers the original file bytes, so file quality is not reduced during transfer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Broadcast Files sends the same original file from one computer to multiple approved receiver devices through separate browser connections.
One device creates a short joining code, the other device joins, and the creator approves the connection before files can move in either direction.
Close friends, colleagues, lab computers, and other trusted contacts.
Create a temporary pickup code for the other device.

This FileDost application is kept separate so the interface remains tidy. It will be improved in the next stage.
