Unable to send files between different networks #172

I am unable to send or receive files if the two devices are on different networks. We've tried through different browsers and matching browsers (Chrome to Chrome).

The error message was among the lines of "Connection cannot be established", but at some point that error message stopped appearing as well.

Try this out: image image But if this doesn't works, then remember: It is P2P i.e. Peer-to-Peer. It only works on the same network ig.

It might work in some cases between different networks as well, but it's less likely to. Unfortunately, sharedrop.io doesn't use any TURN servers that could solve this problem, as they might get pretty expensive.
