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.

LendAFile guide

Share large files and videos in a temporary room.

Share large files, videos, images, archives, and documents through a temporary room code with direct uploads up to the configured 2 GB maximum.

Direct answer

Share Large Files Online

Large videos, design exports, and archives are often awkward to send through email or chat. LendAFile lets you place files and notes into one temporary room and share the code with the people who need access.
