Desktop, mobile, web. On equal footing.
Not every feature runs on every surface — a browser can't spin up an HTTP file server, phones don't do scheduled backups. We ship the full feature set wherever the platform allows.

Built for speed, tuned for cost.
P2P by default, HTTP as fallback. Never pay a middleman for your own bandwidth.
Humans on both ends.
Share pages and collector pages work without login. Drop a URL, get the files.
All your devices, in one tree.
Remote explorer turns a handful of separate machines into one filesystem.
