How to Send Large Files Securely with Perkoon

5 min read 285 views

Sending Large Files Shouldn''t Hurt

You have a huge file. You do not have two hours to watch a fake progress bar. Most file sharing tools still work like it''s 2009: upload to their cloud, wait, hope it doesn''t fail at 98%, then send a link that expires right before your client clicks it.

Perkoon does the obvious thing nobody else bothered to do: your browser talks directly to theirs. No upload. No waiting. No snooping.

What Perkoon Actually Does Differently

Perkoon uses peer-to-peer WebRTC to move data straight between devices. That means:

  • No file size limits in P2P mode
  • No intermediate cloud storage by default
  • No accounts, logins, or setup to start sending large files

Step 1: Open Perkoon

Go to perkoon.com in any modern browser. Desktop, laptop, whatever. You do not install anything. You do not sign up. You just land and start.

Step 2: Drop Your Files

Drag and drop your files onto the page or click to select them. RAW photos, project archives, 4K footage, entire folders in a single archive – if your disk can hold it, Perkoon can send it.

Step 3: Share The Code

Perkoon generates a short one-time code for the session. Send it however you already talk to people:

  • Paste into chat
  • Send in email
  • Drop into Slack, Discord, Teams, whatever

No links full of random tracking junk. Just a code.

Step 4: They Join, You Transfer

When the recipient enters the code at perkoon.com, Perkoon connects both browsers directly. Once the P2P tunnel is up, the transfer just uses whatever bandwidth you both have.

How To Make It Ridiculously Fast

  • Same WiFi, same LAN – you''re basically teleporting files
  • Keep both browsers open – close the tab, kill the transfer
  • Use a modern browser – Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari all support WebRTC
  • Plug in if you can – wired beats weak WiFi every time

Security Without Trust-Falls

Perkoon is built on the assumption that you don''t actually trust anyone with your files:

  • End-to-end encryption with DTLS on the data channel
  • No server storage in P2P mode – we never see your files
  • Ephemeral sessions – codes die, sessions disappear, nothing lingers

When You Can''t Be Online At The Same Time

Sometimes P2P isn''t enough. Different time zones, flights, sleeping babies. For that, Perkoon offers optional encrypted cloud storage:

  • Upload once into temporary storage
  • Share a link instead of a live code
  • Files auto-expire so you don''t build a second Dropbox by accident

From "Send" To "Done"

If sending large files is part of your job, you deserve better tools than a spinning circle. Open perkoon.com, start a session, and watch your next multi-gigabyte transfer finish before other services even complete their upload.
