Browser File Transfer Without Accounts
LocalSend Web lets two nearby browsers exchange files through a simple device-to-device workflow.
This is helpful when you do not want a platform-specific app just to send a file across the room.
Use a modern browser on both devices, keep them on the same local network, and send files through the LocalSend interface.
Why browser transfer works well

- No account sign-in before choosing a device
- Good for photos, documents, archives and media files
How to transfer from browser to browser
- Open LocalSend Web in a browser on each device.
- Wait for the devices to appear in the local discovery list.
