For IT and security teams

Enough detail to make an informed decision.

Transfer in Seconds is a browser-based, live file handoff. It requires no installation or account and does not place files in Transfer in Seconds cloud storage.

Security posture: WebRTC DTLS encryption, one active receiver, SHA-256 delivery verification, and zero application-level file retention in the current mode.

Data flow

1. Load

The interface is delivered over HTTPS from Vercel.

2. Signal

Peer IDs and WebRTC connection details are exchanged through PeerJS.

3. Transfer

The file payload travels over an encrypted RTCDataChannel, direct when the network allows it.

4. Verify

The receiver checks the SHA-256 fingerprint before reporting success.

Network allowlist

The current client uses the following endpoints. Direct WebRTC also needs the organisation's firewall and browser policy to permit RTCDataChannel connectivity.

Controls and limitations

  • The sender must keep the browser page open until completion.
  • The possession of a transfer link grants the ability to attempt one connection; compare the safety code for higher-assurance handoffs.
  • File contents are not available to our server for antivirus, DLP, eDiscovery, retention, or audit inspection.
  • Corporate proxies, TLS inspection, blocked WebSockets, or restrictive UDP/WebRTC policies can prevent the connection.
  • Chrome and Edge can stream large incoming files directly to a user-selected disk location. Other browsers may need to buffer before saving.
