The details
Any phone
Android or iPhone, no app needed: it’s a plain download in the browser.
Wi-Fi or Ethernet
Your Mac can be on Wi-Fi or wired; the link uses the connection that carries internet traffic.
Folders too
Folders are zipped first, without Mac metadata files.
You stay in control
See the download count, copy the link, and stop anytime. Sharing ends after 30 minutes by default.
FAQ
Does the file go through the internet?
No. The phone downloads it from your Mac over your local network.
How long does a share stay open?
30 minutes by default; you can choose 10 minutes to 2 hours in Settings › Sharing, or press Stop.
