Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, AirToShare is completely safe to use. Your files never leave your local Wi-Fi network and are not uploaded to any external servers. All sharing happens directly between devices on the same network.

Key security features:

• Files stay on your local network only
• No external server uploads
• Automatic content expiration
• No personal data collection

Files are associated with your specific IP address. Only devices using the same IP address can access the shared content. However, if multiple devices share the same public IP (common in home networks), they may be able to access each other's content.

For maximum privacy, use AirToShare on trusted networks only.

Files automatically expire and are deleted under these conditions:

• After 6 hours from upload time
• After 1 hour of inactivity (no access)
• When you manually delete them

This automatic cleanup ensures your privacy and helps manage storage space.

No, we don't collect any personal information. AirToShare doesn't require accounts, emails, or any personal details. We only temporarily store your IP address to associate files with your session, and this is automatically deleted when content expires.
