Peer-to-peer shares survive a dropped connection

FixedPeer-to-peerWeb appAPI

A sender whose connection drops takes their link back, recipients wait for them, and transfers between different networks go through a relay.

  • A sender whose browser reconnects takes its share link back instead of being locked out of it.
  • Recipients who open the link while the sender is away wait up to 10 minutes for them to return.
  • When the two computers can't connect directly, the transfer goes through a relay. The relay can't read the encrypted connection.
