Watch a hand-over
- Send nowThe other person opens Receive on this site and types the code you see.
- ReceiveType the code the sender sees. The file lands in your downloads.
- Lock a file for laterA passphrase seals it here. Share the passphrase another way.
How it works
- 1You open Send and drop the file; a six-digit code appears.
- 2The other person opens Receive and types the code. Their browser and yours connect directly. Both screens show the same two pictures; if they match, you press “Send to this person”. The pictures come from the key the two browsers made, so anyone sitting in between would almost never get the same two.
- 3The file crosses that connection, in pieces, and lands in their downloads. Nothing is kept on a server; the file they received stays with them. While it arrives, their browser keeps what came, so a dropped connection continues from there (cleared at their next receive, an hour after it finished, or after 24 hours if it never did).
Not at the same time?
Lock the file with a passphrase. It becomes a .orihako-lock file you can mail or put on a stick; the other person opens it here with the passphrase, on their own device.
To connect, the code and a few setup messages (with your network address) pass through the room on send.orihako.com, and a STUN server tells your browser its public address. The room learns the code, those messages, and when each side joins and leaves. The file, its name and its size are sealed with a key only the two browsers hold and go straight to the other browser, without passing through the room or any server. Networks on the way (and the room, if it ever routed the connection through itself) can see the two devices’ addresses, how much is sent and when.
