Question 1

Does the file stay on a server?

Accepted Answer

No. The file is intended to transfer directly while the sender page stays open. The service is for live handoff, not permanent storage.

Question 2

What does high privacy mean here?

Accepted Answer

Glass&Frame File Share is privacy by control: you choose the session, keep the sender online, and can see whether another device is connected to receive the file. File contents are end-to-end encrypted, but anyone with the same session code can open the same download room and decrypt. It limits exposure in trusted, controllable settings, but it is not a stealth tool or a hack-proof encrypted vault.

Question 3

How is this different from major file sharing services?

Accepted Answer

Major file sharing services are better for long-lived links, cloud folders, and remote downloads later. This page is for quick, private, in-the-moment transfer when devices are face to face, nearby, or on the same local network, and the sender stays open until the download finishes.

Question 4

Do both devices need to stay on?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The sender device is the temporary source of the file, so both browsers should stay open until the transfer completes.

Question 5

How is it different from Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, AirDrop, or Quick Share?

Accepted Answer

Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive-style tools are cloud storage, sync, and collaboration services where files are uploaded to an account and links can be used later. WeTransfer-style tools are hosted transfer links with expiry windows. AirDrop and Quick Share are nearby-device sharing flows tied to operating-system discovery. Glass&Frame File Share is a live browser session: the short URL carries only the session code, the receiver joins the room, file details arrive through the session, and the sender device stays open as the temporary source.

Question 6

What powers the connection?

Accepted Answer

The connection layer is powered by WebRTC Radio, a P2P radio-style tool for quick push-to-talk communication and direct device sessions. It works like radio, but uses an internet connection for longer reach than Bluetooth-only sharing, with Bluetooth relay support in compatible setups.

Question 7

Can marketing teams broadcast files and media?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A team can reuse the same session code as a small campaign room, letting invited people scan or enter the code to receive files, images, videos, menus, decks, coupons, or event media while the sender stays online.

Question 8

Why does it mention Google STUN?

Accepted Answer

The WebRTC connection can use Google free public STUN servers to help browsers discover a route to each other. STUN does not store your files, but anyone with the same session code can try to open the same download room, so share the code only with people you trust.

Question 9

Can private P2P sharing be used everywhere?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Some countries or regions may restrict private P2P tools, encrypted sharing, or direct file transfer. If you are in or sending to places such as Iran, China, or North Korea, check local laws and policies carefully before use. This is not legal advice.

Question 10

Is this hack-proof?

Accepted Answer

No tool should be described as hack-proof. This flow reduces exposure in trusted, controllable environments, but the session code should still be protected.

Share files by session code, not a long cloud link.
