IcyZip

Suppose a link is on your phone and you want it on a computer that doesn't share its clipboard. IcyZip offers a browser-based route: open it on one device, pair the other through a QR code or private link, then use the live text field. Neither participant needs an account or an installed transfer app.

The same pair can send a file in either direction. The receiving browser provides a download action once the transfer finishes. Keep both tabs open and online until then; this is a live exchange through a relay, not an offline inbox or a shared cloud folder.

The file workflow handles one selected item at a time. The privacy policy specifies a current limit of 25 MiB, while the transfer guide labels it 25 MB. Large archives and folder synchronization are outside the described workflow.

Connection recovery also has a boundary. The guide says an interrupted file should be selected and sent again after reconnecting. Live text has an HTTP fallback, but file transfer needs the WebSocket connection.

IcyZip's technical pages say text and file bytes are encrypted in the sending browser and decrypted by the paired browser. They also say the service sees operating data, including filenames, sizes and connection timing. A text draft may remain unencrypted in the local tab's session storage. Keep the complete pairing link private because anyone holding it can join the pair.

The browser encryption code and tests are published for inspection. Their availability is useful, but this note is a reading of the public documentation, not a security audit or a transfer test. The submitter disclosed AI assistance in preparing the submission.
