• Blip: Peer-to-Peer Massive File Sharing by Former Dropbox Engineers

  And for a web native version, there's also WebWormhole: https://webwormhole.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Peer-to-peer file transfers in the browser

  > initiate a connection via CLI and get a simple URL to share https://webwormhole.io does this, see the CLI link at the bottom. Just tested it myself with a small file. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Peer-to-peer file transfers in the browser

  Not to be confused with https://webwormhole.io/, which is open-source. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Peer-to-peer file transfers in the browser

  Both not to be confused with Web Wormhole, which is also pretty good: https://webwormhole.io/ Slightly different approach – "P2P first", i.e. Both sender and receiver need to be online simultaneously throughout the transfer, but there's a TURN relay, so it should work in almost all network constellations. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Send: Open-source fork of Firefox Send

  Slightly off topic: I'm a fan of solutions like https://webwormhole.io/ - which lets you send the file directly from one computer to the other via webrtc instead of uploading to a middleman server... At the expense of not being able to generate a link that you can send to someone else and forget about. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Those who use an Android and macOS, how do you manage sync?

  Https://snapdrop.net/ is a great solution that unlike KDE doesn't require installation. Along with https://webwormhole.io/ they are my go to for transferring assets between systems. Both use WebRTC. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• How to copy a file between devices?

  I don't have a good asynchronous solution, but if you can do it while on the phone/Teams with them, then Web Wormhole (https://webwormhole.io/) is absolutely fantastic. You both open a web page, you drag a file onto yours and it starts appearing in their download folder. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• How to copy a file between devices?

  For the rare cases, where I need to transfer personal data to/from corporate devices, I just use https://webwormhole.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• How to copy a file between devices?

  Here is a list of open source options. This isn't the first time I have shared this on here either. Perhaps this is another sign that web search is failing us.

• Better way to transfer files between Windows <> Mac?

  This works between Windows, Mac and Android: https://webwormhole.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Croc: Easily and securely send things from one computer to another

  For that application, Web Wormhole is unbeatable: https://webwormhole.io/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Ask HN: Is there a need for web peer-to-peer file sharing?

  I think it is a great idea :) My favorite implementation of this is https://webwormhole.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• The easiest way to safely share sensitive data: self-destructing messages

  Look at https://webwormhole.io/ for an example. Source: almost 4 years ago

• How can I accept 3TB of data?

  There's also this, which is drag 'n drop and might work? Neither it nor the GitHub page mentions anything about filesize limits. Even if there was, OP's colleague could split the file (if it's a single file) into N-sized chunks with 7zip or something else easy to use. Source: almost 4 years ago

• ffsend: A fully featured Firefox Send command line client

  The similar (but different) tool I use is Web Wormhole (https://webwormhole.io/#). It does the same thing but through a Web UI and uses WebRTC under the hood. Its great benefit over magic Wormhole is that the target doesn't need to install anything at all. If I'm having a Teams/Zoom/Jitsi call and I want to send a large file I can just send them a link and then drag and drop. - Source: Hacker News / about 4 years ago

• OpenDrop: An open Apple AirDrop implementation written in Python

  The original WebWormhole, from before its name got stolen and productized, is still available and open source: https://webwormhole.io/ https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole. - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago

• Secure File Send

  I quote like how WebWormhole works as it's end-to-end and P2P. Source: almost 5 years ago

• Transfer.sh – Easy file sharing from the command line

  I feel like a web clone of it hits some of your goals: https://webwormhole.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 5 years ago

  Signal (on desktop or smartphone) or https://webwormhole.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 5 years ago

• The Pinecone Overlay Network

  Oh, if you simply want to send files from a command line utility to a browser and vice versa, may I recommend WebWormhole [1]? There is both a webapp (which works on mobile browsers) and a command line client. The command line client can even display ASCII QR codes for easy access on mobile devices. The only problem is long-running background uploads/downloads, but I don't think a mobile app could help there (at... - Source: Hacker News / over 5 years ago
