DashBeam (formerly AltSendme) is an open-source peer-to-peer file transfer application that sends files and folders of any size directly between devices, end-to-end encrypted, without cloud storage or accounts. It offers native desktop apps, an Android app, a CLI, and a browser-based receiver, with LAN discovery, device pairing, and resumable transfers.

Use cases

• send large files without uploading to cloud storage
• transfer files between phone and computer without a cable
• share files with someone without creating an account
• airdrop alternative for windows linux and android
• resume an interrupted large file transfer
• transfer files over local wifi without internet
• send files privately without a third-party server

When to choose

• you need direct device-to-device transfers with no cloud storage or accounts
• you want resumable, integrity-verified transfers of very large files or folders
• you need cross-platform sharing across desktop, mobile, CLI, and browser
• you want LAN auto-discovery or one-time link/QR sharing for receivers with no install

When to avoid

• you need asynchronous cloud-based sharing where the recipient downloads later without you being online
• you require team collaboration features like comments, versioning, or shared drives
• you need iOS support today (it is not yet available)
