SIA-Drop

SIA Drop - A P2P file transfer over local network. No server, no upload, no account. Open the same URL on any device on your WiFi and share files directly via WebRTC.

📖 How to Use SIA Drop (Step-by-Step Guide)

SIA Drop works directly browser-to-browser (P2P). No accounts, no logins, and no file size limits! To share files between two devices (e.g., Phone to Laptop or PC to PC), follow these simple steps:

1️⃣ Open SIA Drop on Both Devices

• On Device A (Sender), open the live link: https://siadrop.pages.dev
• On Device B (Receiver), open the same link: https://siadrop.pages.dev

2️⃣ Connect the Devices

• Look at the unique short ID (e.g., SIA-XXXXX) displayed on Device B (Receiver).
• On Device A (Sender), type or paste Device B's ID into the input field and click Connect (or click on their node icon if they appear on your screen).
• Once connected, the status will change to "Connected".

3️⃣ Select and Send Files

• On Device A, click the Upload file(s) or Send File button.
• Select one or multiple files/folders that you want to transfer.
• Click Send.

4️⃣ Accept and Download (Auto-Zip)

• Device B will instantly receive a pop-up prompt asking to accept the incoming transfer.
• Click Accept.
• If multiple files were sent, SiaDrop will automatically bundle them into a single, clean .zip file and save it directly to your device!

✨ What's New? (Improvements over Original)

I have rewritten and added several major features to make the file-sharing experience seamless:

• 📦 Multi-File Support & Auto-Zip: The original version didn't support transferring multiple files at once. SiaDrop fully supports multi-file selection, and it automatically bundles multiple files into a single .zip file before downloading!
• 🆔 Clean User IDs: Replaced the long, confusing default PeerJS IDs with clean, short, and recognizable formats like SIA-XXXXX.
• ⚡ Production Ready (Static Build): No need to run complex npm dev or npm run build commands anymore. The repository now includes the fully compiled, direct production-ready HTML/JS/CSS code (dist version) for instant deployment.
• 👣 UI Enhancements: Added a professional Footer and fixed various typo/spelling bugs present in the original UI.
