Socket2

The "transient proxy" approach is a clever solution for privacy-conscious file sharing. Not storing user files on your own servers significantly reduces trust concerns, especially when sharing client projects or sensitive documents. I also appreciate that password protection is built in rather than treated as a premium feature. One thing that could make this even stronger would be resumable transfers for large folders in case the connection drops, since that's often where peer-to-peer sharing struggles.

Folder sharing without cloud upload is something developers actually need but rarely get right. The transient proxy approach is clever no storage on your servers means no data liability, which is a big deal for sharing sensitive project files or client deliverables. SSL + password protection covers the basics well. Would love to see this expand to support larger folder sizes for sharing full project directories.

This is a super practical solution for a common friction point in collaborative workflows. The transient proxy approach is a massive win here—not storing any data on your servers completely eliminates the typical security compliance and data liability friction that usually comes with sharing sensitive client deliverables. I have a quick question regarding network stability: Since the files remain exclusively on the local device, how does Socket2 handle temporary network disruptions or if the host machine goes into sleep mode mid-transfer? Does the link automatically resume the download for the peer once the connection is re-established, or does the transfer need to be restarted from scratch? Really neat concept, looking forward to seeing how this evolves!

A reliable file transfer tool for sharing files with the dev team. I hope support for large file sharing will also be provided.

Socket2 feels like a handy tool for those moments when you need to share a whole folder quickly without uploading everything to the cloud first. I like the privacy-focused approach, with files staying on your device and password-protected transfers. Simple idea, but very practical.

no cloud upload for folder sharing is exactly right. password + ssl by default is good to see

Interesting idea, but: no pricing info on the site, poor FAQ, only login form that wants your email before even telling how much does it cost and what is the catch (if any). Really, just more info on the site, proofread, and it would become more applealing immedeately

How does it work internally and it is different from google drive?

glad this is part of the june best apps, because it totally deserves it

Keeping folders on-device is appealing for sensitive client work. The control I'd look for next is a clear access lifecycle: an expiry time, one-click revocation, and a small activity view showing when a recipient connected or finished. That would make the “transient proxy” promise easier to use safely. Are expiring links or revocation already supported?

I think draftroom.works is doing this for marketing purposes. similar to frame.io
