ToffeeShare 2.0 — Transfer files privately, securely and without size limit
ToffeeShare is a private and secure tool to send files via your browser.
Your files are never stored in 'The Cloud' but are transferred directly (encrypted and P2P) to the receiver.
There's no file size limit and no account or registration is required.

Hi Dirk, I am curious to know whether this is a 100% free tool or if there is a business model behind it.

Hi @robingood, We think privacy is important, so our goal is to keep ToffeeShare a free tool. The nature of our infrastructure allows us to run at very low costs. That said, we do offer fully customizable versions for businesses, to give a better sense of brand and identity.
@stofkat Thanks Dirk. Much appreciated. I have written a short review here: http://tools.robingood.com/34057...
Tried this out just now, it's crazy how fast it worked.
Pros: super easy and fast p2p sharing, worked like a charm.
Cons: Have to stay online with tab open, so for files that will have to stay up for a while I guess I would stick to wetransfer. I guess that's the whole point of P2P sharing, no intermediate server that stores your files. :)
All in all, I will most definitely use this more often.
Last year I shared ToffeeShare on Product Hunt, and was amazed by the amount of positive feedback. That made me want to take ToffeeShare to the next level, so I've been working tirelessly on improvements that I would now like to present:
Mobile Connect is a new and easy way of sharing files directly from and to your mobile devices by scanning a QR-Code. Simply select the files you want to share, scan the QR-Code and you can transfer files from and to any PC without using a cable.
I've had many requests to make it possible to send multiple files at once. So now you can :)
Last but not least:
On Chrome and Firefox ToffeeShare now no longer has any file size limit, which means you can share files as big as you want.
Some background info:
With my work I often had to share large files with colleagues or clients. This always forced me to use third party services, with annoying limitations such as registration and file size limits. But also with the files still stored somewhere on their server afterwards.
With that frustration I started working on a solution, which led to ToffeeShare.
Please try it and tell me what you think :)
