Before you begin
Use one harmless photo as a first test. Connect the phone and computer to the same reachable Wi-Fi or wired network, open Share on each, and wait for verification. Select the computer’s device profile for a private conversation rather than posting the photo to the whole room. Pick the file with the phone’s system picker and leave the browser visible until the receiving computer finishes.
A practical workflow
On iPhone and Android, the picker may offer Photos, Files or another document provider. Those choices belong to the operating system; Share does not gain access to your entire photo library. If the source is an item in a cloud provider, that provider may download it first. On the computer, save the received copy deliberately and check it before removing the phone’s original.
Fast file sharing
Send images, videos, PDFs and any other file up to 1 GB at local network speed, with live progress for every recipient.
Questions that matter
How can I send files from my phone to my computer without a cable?
Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi or reachable wired LAN and open share.okya.app in each browser. After local-network verification, choose a device or room and send your files, up to 1 GB per file. Keep both browsers open. No app or account is needed, and file contents do not go through cloud storage. Guest-network isolation or a VPN can prevent a direct connection.
Which browsers and devices are supported?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and iPadOS. The browser needs WebRTC, WebCrypto and IndexedDB, and the page must be opened over HTTPS.
How large can files be, and how fast is the transfer?
Each file can be up to 1 GB. Files are split into chunks and streamed directly between devices with flow control, so speed is limited mainly by your Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Every recipient shows its own progress. If a connection drops mid-transfer, simply send the file again.
Open the page. That is the whole setup.
OKYA Share uses only standard browser technology, so there is nothing to install or configure.
- Join the same network: Connect your devices to the same Wi-Fi or wired LAN, then open share.okya.app in a modern browser.
- Devices verify each other: A lightweight signaling service introduces candidates. Automatic mode verifies a local host-candidate path; devices attested by a configured LAN node use a separate verification path.
- Share freely: Once verified, files, messages and screens flow directly between devices. Close the tab to stop sharing.
Connection and privacy
Messages and files are sent over WebRTC DataChannels, which are always encrypted (DTLS). TURN relays are disabled by design, so content can never be forwarded through a server.
If automatic local-path verification fails, Share shows a clear message instead of guessing. An optional administrator-run LAN node can attest devices separately; those attested connections may use configured STUN, but never a TURN relay. Network restrictions can still prevent a connection.
