Overview

What it is

AirDrop-style file sharing for your local network and trusted friends across the globe. QUIC protocol, mDNS discovery, and global routing powered by Iroh. No limits. No cloud.

Intent

I need it when

Transfer files securely to trusted friends across the internet with end-to-end encryption

AirShare's Global Share feature uses Iroh peer-to-peer network to connect remote peers worldwide with automatic NAT traversal. All transfers remain end-to-end encrypted; only the receiving device can decrypt files. Share via clipboard-friendly tickets that work through any channel.

Access file sharing across multiple operating systems without compatibility issues

AirShare is cross-platform, supporting macOS, Windows, and Linux. Automatic device discovery works across different platforms on the same network. Global Share tickets are platform-agnostic and can be shared through any channel.

Maintain privacy and avoid surveillance while sharing files without creating accounts or providing personal data

AirShare requires no accounts, no cloud, and has zero telemetry or analytics. All data stays locally on your device. Works completely offline after installation. Only minimal license data is handled by payment processor; peer metadata for Global Share is stored locally and encrypted.

Share large files instantly with colleagues on the same local network without uploading to cloud storage

AirShare enables drag-and-drop file transfers over local networks using QUIC protocol with TLS 1.3 encryption. Supports unlimited file sizes in Pro tier, automatic device discovery via mDNS, and keeps all data local on your network with zero cloud dependency.

Transfer files faster than traditional methods with modern networking protocols optimized for large files

AirShare uses QUIC protocol (faster than TCP) with multiplexed streams and built-in TLS 1.3 encryption. Optimized for large file transfers with real-time progress tracking. Supports unlimited file sizes and unlimited daily transfers in Pro tier.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires cloud backup or persistent file storage; AirShare is local-first with no cloud storage
  • User needs to share files across corporate networks with strict firewall rules or VLAN isolation; mDNS multicast may be blocked
  • User requires folder transfer as a single unit; currently only multiple file selection is supported, full folder transfer is planned
  • User needs automatic resume on interrupted transfers; transfers must be restarted if interrupted
  • User requires multi-device license sharing; licenses are issued per device and each device needs its own license
  • User needs team collaboration features or shared workspaces; AirShare is designed for peer-to-peer file transfer, not collaborative editing
