How it works

Local-first, cloud when you need it

Nearby, files move at local speed and never touch a server. Far apart, they take a link — a URL, a QR code, a six-character code. No account required.

The flow

Four steps, zero ceremony

One encrypted pipeline from your hand to theirs — the beam is the whole journey.

  1. Step 01

    Choose your files

    Photos, videos, folders, entire projects — pick anything in the app, or drop it straight into your browser at bishare.app.

    ANY SIZE
  2. Step 02

    Pick a destination

    A device that appears nearby, a link for someone far away, or a room for the whole group. BIShare finds nearby devices automatically.

    AUTO-DISCOVERY
  3. Step 03

    It travels encrypted

    Every transfer is sealed with AES-256 before it leaves your device. Nearby transfers go direct and never touch a server.

    AES-256-GCM
  4. Step 04

    It arrives. That’s it.

    Files land intact and verified. Anything shared through a link deletes itself after 24 hours.

    24H AUTO-DELETE

FAQ

Details, answered

The short version of everything people ask us.

Do I need an account?

No. Anyone can send and receive transfers without signing up — there’s nothing to create, no email, and no profile to manage. Install and start sending.

Does the other person need the app?

Not necessarily. Anyone can download a shared file in their browser using the link or code, and browser access lets any computer on your network exchange files with your device. The app makes everything faster — but it’s never required on both ends.

How big can files be?

Between devices on the same network: no limit — send a 40 GB folder if you like. Shares that travel through a link are free up to 10 GB per file and are deleted after 24 hours.

Is it really end-to-end encrypted?

Yes. Transfers are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using X25519 key exchange. Nearby transfers travel device-to-device and never touch a server; remote shares are held on secure infrastructure and deleted automatically.

What happens after 24 hours?

Shared files are permanently deleted — links and codes simply stop working. One-time links go further and delete themselves after the very first download.

What if a transfer gets interrupted?

Browser uploads are resumable: if the connection drops or a tab closes, the upload continues from where it stopped instead of starting over.

Which platforms are supported?

iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux — plus any modern web browser for receiving and one-off sends. The app is available in 13 languages.

Can I share with a whole group?

Yes — create a room. Share its four-character code and up to 20 people can join, each able to upload and download files. Rooms work locally without internet, or anywhere through a link.

Can I control who sends to me?

Fully. Set a PIN that senders must enter, choose who can discover your device — everyone, favorites only, or nobody — and enable auto-accept only for devices you trust.
