What it does? * It seamlessly transfer your files between the devices connected in the same Local Area Network. It uses WebRTC protocol for peer-to-peer communication. What does it solve? * Traditionally, whenever we wanted to transfer files within our network, the hassle was to download, install and configure softwares to enable sharing. Almost every OS provides a built in storage sharing tool, which can be configured to use file sharing, however the pain is to configure these softwares, or if the configuration is easy then there are limitations like file transfers between OS specific devices only. Why is it better? * One-Host doesn’t require you to download, install or configure anything. It is a tool that configures itself on your local network instantly, as soon as you open it in a browser. * Since it opens in a browser, so you don’t have to worry about OS specific limitations, as it will work on any device with a modern browser like Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Samsung. * The transfers consume only transmission time and not upload time. When you transfer your files through WhatsApp, the file takes time to upload and then download. In case of One-Host, it uploads instantly, in may be like 1 second. When downloaded it downloads faster since it utilizes your Local Area Network speeds, which is significantly higher than your internet speeds. * Technically, One-Host eliminates the time to download, install & configure a software, and uploading time to transfer files completely.  Current limitations :  * It transfer files up to 2 GB between desktops/laptops perfectly. * Mobile/Tablet browsers have less memory so files up to 800 MB works fine. * Though it supports background downloading to some extent, but still it can’t be called as True background transfer operation. Future scope and upcoming v2.0 * Solution for all current limitations * Higher file-size transfers over web app * Native Android & iOS apps for large and huge file transfers. * Progressive Web Apps (PWA) for desktops * Transfer over internet. With same functionality (no server, no upload, only transmission)

Whoa, this is truely awesome! The no-download, instant setup in the browser is such a smart idea. I'm *so* tired of dealing with clunky file transfer software. Ngl, transferring files at 3X speed within my LAN sounds like a game changer. So, how's the mobile experience on something like an iPad?

@mujoe Sorry for the late reply, due to some reason I wasn't able to see your complete comment and reply to it. It's great! In fact any device that has a modern day browser like Chrome, Safari, it really works very well on all of them.
