Account-free discovery

Discover devices near you

Nearby helps you find LendAFile devices close to you, so you can share files, request files, or invite someone to a Room without copying links or scanning codes.

Your browser location and its reported accuracy are held temporarily while Nearby is on. They are used only for proximity discovery, are never shown to other users, and become unavailable within three minutes after presence updates stop. Expired records are periodically deleted. Location is requested only when you choose to enable it. No account is required.

Direct answer

Google Drive Alternative for Quick Transfers

Google Drive works well for long-term document storage. LendAFile works best when you need a fast temporary place for files and notes without managing permissions, folders, or accounts.
