Overview
FilePizza is a clever way to share files that doesn't use any servers at all. When you use FilePizza, your file goes directly from your computer to the other person's computer, like passing a USB drive directly between two computers. Because there's no server in the middle, FilePizza can't see your files, can't store them, and can't track what you're sharing. You just drag and drop your file, get a link, and share it. The other person opens the link in their browser and the file transfers directly to them. FilePizza is completely free, open source, and works entirely in your web browser. The catch is that both you and the person receiving the file need to be online at the same time for it to work. It's perfect for sharing files privately without using cloud storage services.
