Frequently asked questions

mochiShare lets you send files directly to someone else without creating an account or uploading your files to a permanent file server.

Yes. mochiShare is intended to be free to use. There are no paid accounts or advertisements.

No account, no sign-up, no nonsense. Drop a file, get a link, and share it.

Nope! Files are transferred directly between you and the person you're sharing with whenever possible. mochiShare isn't intended to be a permanent file-storage service.

You select a file, mochiShare creates a temporary share, and you get a link to send to the recipient. Once they connect, the file can be transferred directly between your browsers.

Whenever possible. mochiShare uses WebRTC to establish a direct connection between the sender and recipient. Some networks may require a relay to make the connection work.

WebRTC is a technology built into modern browsers that allows devices to communicate directly with each other. mochiShare uses it to transfer your file without relying on permanent file storage.

Whenever a direct peer-to-peer connection is possible, the file itself is transferred between the two devices. In some cases, a network relay may be used when the devices cannot connect directly.

Your file is available while your sharing session is active. Once the recipient connects to the share or the download is completed, the share becomes unavailable.

Closing the sharing tab ends your active sharing session. If the recipient hasn't downloaded the file yet, you'll need to create a new share.

A share is designed for a simple sender-to-recipient transfer. If you need to send the same file to multiple people, creating a separate share for each recipient is the safest approach.

mochiShare is built around keeping file sharing simple. Support for multiple files may depend on the current version of the service.

A share link is what allows someone to connect to your active share. Because links can be copied or forwarded, only send your link to people you trust.

Yes. Closing your sharing session makes the active share unavailable. You can also simply stop sharing if the recipient no longer needs the file.

mochiShare doesn't need to inspect the contents of your files to transfer them. Files are sent through the sharing connection rather than uploaded to a permanent file library.

mochiShare is designed to collect as little information as possible. Some basic file metadata and technical connection information may be temporarily handled when necessary to create and maintain a share.

Internet connections inherently involve IP addresses and other network information. Depending on how a connection is established, this information may be visible to the devices and networking infrastructure involved.

No. mochiShare does not use your files to train AI models.

No. mochiShare does not sell your personal information.

WebRTC connections use encryption while data is being transferred. This helps protect the connection while your file is traveling between devices.

Some networks, VPNs, firewalls, or restrictive NAT configurations can interfere with peer-to-peer connections. Try refreshing the page and creating a new share. If the problem continues, try another network.

Make sure the entire link was copied correctly and that your sharing session is still active. If the share has already ended or the tab was closed, you'll need to create a new share.

mochiShare requires a modern browser with WebRTC support. Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari should support the features needed for file sharing.

File size limits may depend on the browser, device, connection, and current mochiShare implementation. Since files are transferred between devices, larger files may also take longer to send.
