Floe transfers files directly between devices using WebRTC. Files are end-to-end encrypted and never stored on any server. The signaling server only brokers the initial connection setup. Once both peers are connected, it steps aside.

​
What Floe does

  • Direct, peer-to-peer transfers. Files travel straight from your device to the recipient’s device.
  • End-to-end encrypted. Every transfer is encrypted with DTLS. No one, including Floe’s servers, can read your files.
  • No accounts or storage. No sign-up, no uploads, no data retained after the transfer completes.
  • No size limit on direct transfers. Relay connections are capped at 2 GB per session to keep the service free.
  • Browser and CLI. Use the web app at floe.one or the floe command-line tool. Both are fully compatible with each other.
  • Open source and self-hostable. Run your own instance on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose.
