No good self-hostable, browser-based file transfer solution exists that works for recipients who won't install any app.
Existing self-hostable options either require app installation on every device (Localsend, Syncthing) or are CLI-only (magic-wormhole). Non-self-hostable services (wormhole.app) can't be run on user's own infrastructure.

RapidShare P2P
A browser-based, self-hostable peer-to-peer file transfer platform. No app installation needed — both sender and receiver just open a browser tab. Uses WebRTC data channels for encrypted, direct file transfer with no size limits. Fully self-hosted with Docker Compose and Terraform deployment scripts.
Key Features
- Browser-based file transfer with no app installation
- Peer-to-peer WebRTC encrypted transfer
- No file size cap
- Self-hostable with Docker Compose and Terraform
- Persists nothing server-side
Target Users: Developers and technical users who need self-hosted file sharing without client software for recipients.
Revenue Model: Freemium with $19/mo pro tier for premium support and hosted signaling server
