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. ## Use Floe Open floe.one in any modern browser. No installation required. Install the `floe` binary for headless, scriptable transfers. ## Common questions Common questions about file size, browser support, in-app browsers, iOS, speed, and accounts are answered in the [FAQ](/docs/faq). ## Self-hosting You can run your own Floe instance on your own infrastructure using Docker Compose. See the [Self-Hosting](/docs/self-hosting/overview) section.
