FileToss - Fast P2P Local File Sharing Without Internet!
"Large files that are difficult and complicated to send? Now, just lightly toss them with FileToss!"
FileToss is a local P2P file sharing application that allows you to transfer files between nearby smartphones, tablets, and PCs in the fastest and safest way, using only a local network (Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot), without an internet connection or mobile data consumption.
You can send and receive unlimited files without restrictions on file format or size, including photos, videos, large documents, and apps (APKs). Whether the file size is too large or the quality is degraded for a messenger, email attachments are cumbersome, or you are outdoors or in airplane mode where there is no network signal at all, FileToss allows for perfect sharing.
✨ Key Features
1. Zero Data Consumption! High-Speed P2P File Transfer (Standard Wi-Fi & Mobile Hotspot)
• Standard Wi-Fi Mode: Transfers files at ultra-high speeds up to the limits of wireless LAN speeds between devices connected to the same router (AP) network. • Mobile Hotspot Mode: No problem even in places without a Wi-Fi router! When one device turns on the hotspot, other devices connect directly, instantly establishing a file sharing environment without an internet connection.
2. No App Needed! Powerful "Web Browser Sharing" Support
• Don't worry if the other device doesn't have the FileToss app installed.
• Simply open the server in standard Wi-Fi mode, and enter the generated address into a web browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.) on your PC or another smartphone to easily download or upload files.
• Features real-time drag-and-drop uploading and a clean web transfer interface built-in.
3. Automatic Connection in 1 Second with QR Code
• No need to manually enter complex and hard-to-remember IP addresses or port numbers.
• Scan the QR code displayed on the server screen with the client app's built-in camera scanner, and the matching and connection are completed instantly.
4. Guaranteed Transmission Integrity
• Were you worried about data loss or damage when sending large files? • FileToss automatically performs MD5 hash verification in the background immediately after file reception is complete. It compares the hash values of the original and received files one-to-one to confirm they are identical. (This can be toggled on and off in Settings.)
5. Background Service for Uninterrupted Transfer
• Transfers will not be interrupted even if the screen turns off or another app is opened during large file transfers.
• Transfers are safely completed even while multitasking through a stable background Foreground Service and control of the top notification bar. (To conserve battery power, the app will automatically shut down after 30 minutes of inactivity.)
6. Real-time Connection Information & Automatic Storage Calculation
• Monitors the list of users currently in the same room and the host/client status in real-time.
• It checks the remaining available storage space on your device in real-time before receiving files, preventing transfers from being interrupted due to insufficient capacity.
