As I know, this app need internet connection that's mean it send files to server right?

If the answer is yes, then how much time that server will keep files? hrs/day?

Can you explain more about server using? (like address or any infos that can help me clear) I'm pretty dumb and curious in these so much.

You can dump wiki's link for infos also.

Thanks

Hi! The app connects directly to the other device with webrtc, the same technology used by most video conferencing apps such as zoom etc.

This means that internet connection is not required if the devices are on the same network. Files are never stored on a server in any case, not even temporarily.

but this doesn't work if I share hotsport? I tried to send from android to ipad with hotsport from android devices. when I press send, it tell me that's I didn't have connection and fails to send.

Might be that hotspot does not work with webrtc. In theory it should work if two devices are on the same local network and can reach each other at least.

I still can't connect via xiaomi android 14 and ipad os 17 if I didn't enable interconnection in xiaomi phone. I tried several settings for hotspot that I share to my ipad but no luck.
