Instead of first sending the file to an external server, the sender immediately gets a link they can distribute. And when a recipient clicks it, they connect directly to the sender’s computer to complete the download, eliminating the server middleman. Because the file is never actually saved on, or even touches, our servers, the transfer is incredibly private and secure. + ## Usage $ npm install
