> Free peer-to-peer file transfers directly between web browsers.

FilePizza is an open-source web application that uses WebRTC to transfer files directly between browsers. Because files are sent peer-to-peer without being uploaded to intermediary servers, there are no file size limits or cloud storage privacy concerns. Transfers require keeping the browser tab open until the recipient finishes downloading.
