I built AirDows: A browser-based P2P file transfer tool using WebRTC

I created AirDows to let you transfer photos, videos, and documents directly from your phone to your PC without cables or accounts. Using WebRTC, the tool connects your devices instantly via QR code, ensuring files arrive in their original quality without compression or cloud storage. You simply open the browser on both devices, connect, and drop your files for a seamless, private transfer experience.

Don't upload it, move it. AirDows connects two devices for just the time needed to deliver the file, creating no extra place for you to search later.

In this list I think only web wormhole does that which means it should be able to transfer huge files without any problem. Most tools crash if files are in GBs.

    You have some web page material in English, and some material in either Spanish or Portuguese. You might want to check everything twice before posting on HN.

    I guess this sort of tool provides a good learning experience for developers or implementing one scratches some other itch, because there are so many one here:
