SHARE
Desk to desk, at network speed.
Send a file straight from your computer to a colleague’s over the office network. It never uploads to a server, and both of you see it arrive.
Overview
Same network, checked first.
Smack confirms you’re both on the same network before anything moves.
They accept, it moves.
Your colleague gets a prompt with the file name and size and chooses where to save it.
Verified on arrival.
Each file is checksum-verified, and program files carry a warning.
