## Overview
FilePizza enables private and much faster P2P file transfer over the web.
By using web protocol [WebRTC](http://www.webrtc.org), we eliminate the slow and costly initial upload step traditionally required when sharing files via Dropbox/CloudApp/etc. For most files, this is a big deal. 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 senders 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.
