I Built a Browser-Based File Transfer Tool Between Phone and PC

The Problem

Every developer knows this pain: you need to get a file from your phone to your computer.

  • Email it to yourself (works, but feels ridiculous)
  • Upload to Google Drive (requires login, slow for one file)
  • AirDrop (only works in Apple's ecosystem)
  • USB cable (who carries those anymore?)

The Solution

I built Quick Transfer - a web tool that sends files between any two devices using just a browser.

How it works:

  1. Open t.sum.pub on both devices
  2. Select a file
  3. It transfers directly

No app to install. No account to create. No cloud storage.

Why I Built This

I work across multiple devices daily. Moving files between them was always annoying. I wanted something that:

  • Works on any device with a browser
  • Requires zero setup
  • Is fast - direct transfer
  • Is free

Try It Out

Try it now: t.sum.pub

Open it on your phone and computer, transfer a file. Would love your feedback!

What's Next

  • Folder transfer support
  • Transfer history
  • QR code pairing
