FREE: O&O FileDirect! Simply Send Your Files Direct - No Cloud, Anonymous, Secure!

by Jim Harrison -

O&O FileDirect makes it possible to share an unlimited number of files without having to load them in the cloud. This way your confidential files are never out of your hands. You maintain complete control over who gets to see them.

Using a simple interface, you indicate the file that should be shared. O&O FileDirect then generates an individual link that you send to the contact. The recipient doesn’t need to install O&O FileDirect in order to download the file. The only thing needed is a current browser running on an ordinary device.

Due to the way an internet connection is established it is not always possible to directly connect two participants with each other, due for instance to NAT Gateways and Firewalls. The use of the O&O Software server enables a browser and O&O FileDirect to establish such a connection. Only so-called metadata is passed through this server, such as the file name, file size and data required to build a connection. Furthermore, this data is not saved on the server at any time, but is resent by O&O FileDirect when a browser requests it.

As soon as the connection is made, the browser and O&O FileDirect communicate with each other directly and the authorized data can then be exchanged.


Send files directly and securely – Free!

O&O FileDirect makes it easy to share files and folders with an unlimited number of recipients (File Transfer). You maintain absolute control over who should be allowed to access these files. No need for any cloud services or worrying about the size of email attachments. Your files will only be shared between the computer where the files are saved and the computer, tablet, laptop, mobile phone of the recipient where the files will be downloaded.

The recipient needs only the link that O&O FileDirect generates and a current browser. Share files of any size quickly, easily, and – most important – securely. No need to worry anymore about the file being too big for your mail client, or you that don’t have an FTP server, or you don’t want to put up with the delays and annoying pop-ups of those megashare upload sites. Just send your files – direct!


The Benefits:

  • Anonymous and secure
  • Free, no registration necessary
  • Unlimited number of recipients
  • Sharing files made easy
  • Files will be transferred directly from your PC and the target device – no in-between storage on external computers
  • The recipient needs only a current browser running on an ordinary device

    This product’s description makes it seem like it works behind any firewall, but I couldn’t get this to work behind a firewall using dynamic NAT. The remote computer is trying to connect to the NAT source port opened by the file sharer’s connection to the STUN server, not the NAT source port of the file sharer’s direct connection to the remote computer. Therefore, the peer-to-peer connection is blocked. Does this software only work with a full cone NAT?
