Browser → room → browser.
You upload the file from the browser on one device. It waits in a temporary pendrive.zip room. Another browser opens the room, enters the PIN and downloads it.
Browser A → pendrive.zip room → Browser B
It isn't a direct browser-to-browser or peer-to-peer connection — the file is stored online temporarily so the other browser can retrieve it.
Browser file transfer in three steps.
- 1Open pendrive.zip in the browser on the device that has the file.
- 2Upload the file to your temporary room.
- 3Open the same room in another browser and download it.
No file-transfer software to install.
For the basic pendrive.zip workflow, you don't need a dedicated file-transfer application on either device. You use the browser you already have — any supported modern browser. No pendrive.zip account is required for the basic anonymous workflow.
Different devices. Same browser workflow.

pendrive.zip uses a temporary online room rather than local device discovery, so each device only needs internet access. No same Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth pairing and no local-network discovery. One device can be on mobile data while the other is on office Wi-Fi.
The other browser can open it later.
Upload the file now. Once the upload has fully completed, you can close the sending browser.
Open the room from another device later, as long as the file hasn't expired. The two devices don't need to be online at the same time.
No account required for a quick transfer.
For a basic temporary transfer, create a room, choose a PIN and upload the file. Then open the room from the other browser.
Premium adds a personal room address, more storage, folders and longer retention when you need them.
A room URL isn't enough.
To open the files, the other browser needs both the room URL and the PIN.
Used for real work. Every day.
From trading desks to client work, pendrive.zip keeps everyday file transfers simple.
“I run trading systems on multiple VPS machines, and pendrive.zip has become the quickest way to move files between them. I just drop a file on one machine and pick it up on another. No email, no cloud-drive folders, no hassle.”

“Clients always find a way to make file sharing complicated. With pendrive.zip I can just give them one address and a PIN. They open it, drop the files in, and I'm done.”

“I use pendrive.zip when I need to get photos to a client quickly. I send them my link and PIN, upload the files, and they can download everything without creating an account or figuring out another app.”

Online, but temporary.
pendrive.zip temporarily stores the file online so another browser can retrieve it. That's what lets the devices use different networks, and lets the receiver open the room later without the sender being online.
Without an account, files are deleted after 10 minutes by default, and the uploader can keep them for up to 1 hour. Free accounts keep files for up to 1 hour, Premium for up to 1 week.

Questions
How do I transfer files through a browser?
Open pendrive.zip in the browser on the device that has the file, choose a room name and PIN, and upload the file. In another browser, open the same room address, enter the PIN and download it.
Can I transfer files without installing software?
Yes, for the basic transfer. You use the browser you already have on each device — no dedicated file-transfer app, and no pendrive.zip account is needed to start.
Is pendrive.zip a browser-to-browser or peer-to-peer transfer?
No. pendrive.zip uses a temporary online room rather than a direct peer-to-peer browser connection. The file is uploaded from one browser, stored online temporarily, and downloaded by the other browser.
Do both devices need to use the same browser?
No. The room is a normal web page, so the sending and receiving devices can use different supported modern browsers.
Do the devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi?
No. Each device only needs internet access. One device can be on mobile data while the other is on office Wi-Fi — there's no local device discovery or Bluetooth pairing.
Do both devices need to be online at the same time?
No. Once the upload has fully completed, you can close the sending browser and open the room from another device later, as long as the file hasn't expired.
Can I transfer files from my phone browser to my computer?
Yes. Upload the file from your phone's browser, then open the same room on your computer, enter the PIN and download it.
Can I transfer files between Mac and Windows in a browser?
Yes. Upload from a browser on the Mac and download from a browser on the Windows PC, or the other way round. The file arrives exactly as it was uploaded.
What types of files can I transfer?
Photos, screenshots, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, ZIP files, downloaded files and more — if the browser can select the file for upload and it fits within the current pendrive.zip limits, it can be transferred. Formats are not converted.
How large can the files be?
Without an account and on Free, files can be up to 10 MB each. Premium plans have no separate per-file limit; the available storage in your plan is the effective limit.
How long are files stored online?
Without an account, files are deleted after 10 minutes by default; the uploader can keep them for up to 1 hour. Free accounts can keep files for up to 1 hour, and Premium users for up to 1 week.
