Open files on another computer without downloading them first

Mac to Windows, one folder, nothing to download first. Two computers side by side. Click to watch on YouTube, with sound.

Another computer's files show up as a folder on yours, and you open and edit them in your own apps with nothing to download first.

• A big file opens right away, because only the parts you read cross the network, and your edits save back.
• No cloud stores your files, and the relay that connects you cannot read them, because they are end-to-end encrypted with protection against future quantum computers.
• On the same network you connect with one click. Over the internet you swap a code once and then save the contact.
• With Teleport on, your friend's files are a real folder on your computer, so any app works with them, git clone included.
• It runs on macOS, Linux, Windows and Android, and iOS is on the way. The code is open source under the AGPL-3.0.

Get it: Mac · Windows · Linux · Android · every click, per computer · or try it on the web

Getting started: install it on both computers and connect once. On the same Wi-Fi, turn on Local mode; anywhere else, send your code in any chat and paste your friend's code. Then drop a file in, or open their files with Teleport. Each step has a short clip, and the clips are also a YouTube playlist.

Copy your code, send it in any chat, paste your friend's code, and both of you press Connect.

With direct transfer, you drag files in and your friend saves the ones they need.	With Teleport, your friend's files appear as a folder that any app can open.

Finder shows the Teleport Folder like any other folder.	git works inside the Teleport Folder.
