Step-by-step guide

How AirToShare works

Share files and text in seconds — on the same Wi‑Fi, via a link, or in a collaborative Room. No complicated setup required.

Three steps to start

  1. Open AirToShare

    Visit the site in any modern browser — phone, tablet, or desktop. No download or sign-up needed. Create a free account if you want My Shares, higher limits, and longer expiry options.

  2. Add your content

    Drag and drop files or paste text. Switch between Text and Files tabs. Optionally add a password, set expiry, enable end-to-end encryption, or create a Room for group sharing.

  3. Share access

    On the same Wi‑Fi, content syncs automatically between devices. Copy your share link (/s/…) or show a QR code for remote access. Teammates can join a Room with a 6-character code.

Ways to share

Same Wi‑Fi

Devices on your local network see the same session instantly — ideal for quick transfers between your own devices.

Share link & QR

Copy your unique /s/{uuid} link or scan a QR code so anyone with the URL can open your share.

Rooms

Create a Room, share the 6-character code or /r/CODE link, and collaborate in real time with clipboard sync.

Password & E2EE

Lock a share or Room with a password, or encrypt text in your browser — the decryption key stays in the URL fragment.

Built for everyday sharing

Fast transfers

Local network sync is instant. Large files use resumable chunked uploads (up to 500 MB per file).

Works everywhere

Any device with a browser — Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android. Install as a PWA for quick access.

My Shares

Free accounts get a dashboard to manage shares, favourites, public gallery links, and expiry settings.

Download options

Download files individually, grab everything as a ZIP, or email attachments directly from the share view.

Rich previews

Preview images, PDFs, and text inline. URLs in shared text are automatically linked for easy clicking.

Auto expiry

Shares clean up automatically after expiry or inactivity — guests get shorter windows; accounts can choose longer options.

Security & privacy

  • Local-first option

    Same-network sharing keeps traffic on your Wi‑Fi when you use IP-based sessions.

  • Password-protected shares

    Optional bcrypt password gate with rate limiting on failed attempts.

  • Client-side E2EE

    Encrypted text keys live in the URL fragment and are never sent to the server.

  • Automatic cleanup

    Expired and inactive shares are removed on a schedule so data does not linger.
