		ryandrake 10 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Peer-to-peer file transfers in the browser The file.pizza one doesn't look like it's peer-to-peer. You upload a file to their server, and then they provide a download URL you can share. Kind of the opposite of peer-to-peer. I would expect a "P2P" file transfer product to not require any intermediate storage besides the sharing user's and the recipients'.

It is peer-to-peer, via WebRTC. It says right there on the homepage, when you start a connection, and on the FAQ.
