You can start a transfer as soon as you open the platform, without sign-ups or setup.

This keeps the experience fast, simple, and focused on getting your file delivered.

Usage

How do I share files using ShareDuct?

Select your file, generate a link or code, and share it with the recipient.

Once they join, the transfer begins instantly without requiring uploads or setup.

Keep the tab open on both sides until the transfer is complete.

General

What can I use ShareDuct for?

ShareDuct is designed for sending files directly to others, without delays or unnecessary steps.

It works seamlessly for sharing large videos, project files, documents, and more.

Whether you're collaborating, delivering work, or sharing something personal, the process stays simple and immediate.

Comparison

How is ShareDuct different from traditional file sharing platforms like WeTransfer or Dropbox?

ShareDuct is faster than traditional file sharing platforms, which require uploads to complete before the recipient can start downloading.

Files are sent over end-to-end encrypted connections, so only the intended recipient can access them—not even ShareDuct.

ShareDuct keeps the experience simple, without requiring accounts or added steps for either the sender or the receiver.

Comparison

How is ShareDuct different from Google Drive?

ShareDuct transfers aren’t constrained by storage limits or upgrade plans, making it easier to send large files when you simply want to share and move on.

ShareDuct is designed for sending files directly to someone, without the need to upload, store, or manage them afterward, while Google Drive is built for storing, organizing, and accessing files over time.

Usage

What happens if I close the tab during a transfer?

ShareDuct uses a secure, direct connection that requires both the sender and receiver to stay connected. If either side closes the tab, refreshes the page, or loses connection, the transfer will stop.

Because the connection is transient, the file may not be fully delivered and the transfer will need to be restarted.

For best results, keep the tab open and ensure a stable connection on both sides until the transfer is complete.

Usage

Can I use ShareDuct for professional or client file sharing?

Yes. ShareDuct is designed to support fast and reliable file transfers in professional workflows.

It works well for sharing large project files, delivering work to clients, or collaborating with teams without delays or setup.

Since files are transferred directly and not stored, it also helps maintain privacy during sensitive exchanges.

Usage

Do both users need to stay online during a transfer?

Yes, both the sender and receiver need to stay connected while the transfer is in progress. If either side disconnects, the transfer will stop and may need to be restarted.

Security

Is ShareDuct safe to use?

Yes. ShareDuct uses end-to-end encrypted connections and follows a content-blind approach, meaning files are not stored or accessible by the platform at any stage.

It also does not require accounts or personal data from either the sender or the receiver, making it one of the safest ways to transfer files on the internet.

Security

Can ShareDuct access or view my files?

No. ShareDuct cannot access, view, or store your files. Transfers happen directly between users, and file contents are not visible to the platform at any point.

Security

General

How long does a ShareDuct transfer take?

Transfer time depends on file size, network speed, and device performance on both sides. Faster connections generally result in quicker transfers.

General

Is there a limit on the number of transfers I can make?

ShareDuct does not impose a fixed limit on the number of transfers. Usage may be monitored to maintain system reliability and prevent misuse.

Comparison

ShareDuct, on the other hand, works across devices and distances without ecosystem limitations, making it more suitable for sending large files to anyone, anywhere.
