#### Sharefi

Sharefi is a cross-platform, open-source, and free app to effortlessly share files over your local network.

Built for speed and privacy, Sharefi works entirely offline by routing data directly through your local Wi-Fi or Ethernet via HTTPS-encrypted peer-to-peer connections. Your files never touch the cloud or external servers, ensuring maximum security with zero configuration.

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install sharefi-electron

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.
