Free Fast Large File Transfer
Rebuilt for the AI Era
Fast, private, peer-to-peer file transfer with AI automation built in. Free forever, end-to-end encrypted, no cloud server in the middle.
Three Problems, One Architecture
Data volumes are growing fast. Privacy matters more than ever. Automation needs to be intelligent. One design answers all three.
Free Forever
Data volumes are growing exponentially. Per-GB pricing that works at 100 GB becomes untenable at 10 TB and impossible at petabyte scale. Free means your costs don't grow with your data.
P2P = no server costs to pass on. Free at any scale.
Total Privacy
When files go through third-party servers, you're trusting someone else with your data. With direct P2P transfer, your files go straight from your device to theirs — no middleman, no trust required.
Direct P2P + E2E encryption. Files never touch a third-party server.
AI-Native Automation
Modern workflows involve too many files and too many steps to manage manually. The tool that moves your files must speak AI natively.
40+ MCP tools + REST API. AI agents orchestrate everything.
Desktop, CLI, REST API, and MCP — one tool, every workflow.
Transfers that just work
Built for real-world conditions. Move terabytes across the globe or sync files over unreliable networks - Handrive handles it all.
Any File, Any Size
Transfer a single 100GB video or a million small files. No limits, no waiting for uploads.
Full Speed Everywhere
Lossy WiFi, SATELLITE, or across the globe - full bandwidth with no slowdown. Friendly to high packet loss and other traffic.
Pick Up Where You Left Off
Connection dropped? Laptop went to sleep? No problem - restart and RESUME from where you left off.
Encrypted End-to-End
Your files are ENCRYPTED before they leave your device. Only you and your recipients can see them.
How it works
File sharing like your OS, but universal. No cloud required.
Share a Folder
Point to any folder on your device. It stays on your machine—nothing uploads.
Add Members
Grant access by email. Choose their role: Admin, Editor, or Viewer.
Connect to Contact
Add someone as a contact to see shares from all their devices.
Browse & Download
See folders they've shared with you. Download files directly—peer-to-peer, no size limits.
Works like network file sharing. On your computer, you connect to a machine, then see its shared folders. Handrive does the same across the internet—your email is your identity, contacts are your connections. One contact, all their devices. Files transfer directly, never through our servers.
