Hi HN,

I built a small side project: https://eztrans.online – a no-signup, browser-based file transfer tool. It’s designed to be simple, fast, and private.

The goal is to make sending files between devices (or to friends) as frictionless as possible. No login, no app installation. You just drag a file in, get a code or link, and the receiver gets it instantly through a P2P or relay connection.

Some details:

Uses WebRTC for peer-to-peer transfer when possible, with fallback relay

Files are not stored on any server (except transiently when relay is needed)

Supports drag & drop, clipboard, and QR code sharing

Built with privacy in mind – no tracking, no ads

I built this mostly for personal use (transferring files from laptop to phone without cables), but figured it might be useful to others too.

Would love to hear your thoughts, especially on usability or edge cases I might’ve missed. Happy to answer questions or share implementation details.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing - and nice website!

Does it work with VPNs? I seem to see "WebRTC Connection: Disconnected" regardless of the browser. In some cases it's the result of security hardening, but in others that can't be the case.
