FileFly

FileFly is a fast, private, peer-to-peer file sharing app for your local network. Send photos, documents, videos, and folders directly between your Windows, macOS, and Linux devices over the same WiFi or LAN — with no cloud, no accounts, and no internet connection required.

Files travel straight from one device to another. Nothing is uploaded to a third-party server, so your data never leaves your network.

Why FileFly

• No internet needed — works entirely on your local WiFi or wired LAN
• No cloud, no accounts, no sign-up, no file size caps from a server
• Truly cross-platform — Windows ⇄ macOS ⇄ Linux, in any combination
• Automatic device discovery — nearby devices appear on their own
• Drag-and-drop simplicity — drop files, pick a device, send
• Private by design — files go device-to-device, never through a server

How it works

1. Open FileFly on two or more devices connected to the same network.
2. Devices discover each other automatically.
3. Drag your files onto FileFly and choose where to send them.
4. The receiving device approves the transfer — then the files arrive directly in the chosen download folder.

Every transfer is consent-based: the person receiving always approves before anything is sent, so you're never surprised by an incoming file.

Great for

• Moving files between your own laptop, desktop, and other machines
• Sharing with people sitting next to you, without messaging apps or USB
• Offices, classrooms, and home networks where the cloud is overkill
• Anywhere privacy matters and files should stay on the local network
