FileBridge is a Tauri-based desktop application that instantly turns your PC into a local file-sharing server. Select any folder on your computer, and FileBridge generates a web interface accessible via a QR code. You can then use your phone (or any other device on the network) to view, upload, and delete files seamlessly.
Need to share files across different networks? FileBridge integrates with localtunnel to give you a public URL instantly—no complex ngrok authentication required.
Built with Tauri, Next.js, and Rust (axum).
Visit the official FileBridge Documentation Site for more details.
You can download the latest version of FileBridge for Linux, macOS, and Windows directly from our GitHub Releases page.
Note: New releases are automatically built and published via GitHub Actions when a new version tag (e.g., v1.0.0) is pushed.

- Releases: Pushing a tag starting with
v(e.g.,v1.0.0) triggers an automated build process that compiles the Tauri binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and publishes them to GitHub Releases. - GitHub Pages: Pushing a tag also triggers the deployment of the
