Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions regarding our cross-device file transfer scenarios.
What makes Textunnel different from cloud storage for these use cases?
Unlike Dropbox, Google Drive, or WeTransfer where files must first be uploaded to third-party cloud servers, Textunnel streams data directly peer-to-peer between your browsers using encrypted WebRTC. There are zero upload limits, zero storage fees, and your files are never retained.
Can I transfer files between devices running different operating systems?
Yes. Textunnel works natively across iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux inside any standard browser (Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox) with no app installations or Bluetooth pairing required.
Does Textunnel work when there is no internet connection?
Yes. If both devices are connected to the same local Wi-Fi router or mobile hotspot, Textunnel automatically routes packets directly over your local area network (LAN) at gigabit hardware speeds without consuming cellular or internet bandwidth.
