Welcome to KiBi-Share!

KiBi-Share is a lightweight filesharing application, designed to send and receive files in a simple and compatible way.

  • Quickly share files with anyone. Only one side of the transfer needs KiBi-Share installed, as the other can use their web-browser for the transfer.

  • Make a directory on your computer accessible through a web-browser, allowing you to access your files from another computer.

  • Pause and resume transfers of large files over the internet.

How does it work?

Select files to send

To send a file, drag it to the KiBi-Share window, and it will show up in the list of shared files.

Copy your address

Each computer has its own unique address, and your such address will be visible in the lower left corner of the program window. To try it out yourself, right-click the copy button to get the local address, and to share your file over the internet use the internet address.

The receiver can download your files

KiBi-Share will accept connections to that address from a web-browser, and show a list of your files in the browser-window. By sending your internet address to someone who is to receive your file, they will be able to download it directly from your computer using their web-browser.


Top Features

Quick and easy file-transfers, to anyone, anywhere - KiBi-Share works using the standard HTTP protocol used for web-browsing, allowing you to send files to anyone who has a web-browser. There is no middle-man server that can interfere with the transfer, but a direct connection between the sending and receiving end. Coupled with an easy to use interface, sending files to your friends or co-workers is as easy as a drag and drop.
A common situation where using KiBi-Share can be beneficial is when sending or receiving files through instant messenger conversations, or even more so when communicating through web-based chats, which may often lack file-transfer capabilities. KiBi-Share solves the problem in a simple and efficient way.

Make your files available remotely - By leaving KiBi-Share running on your computer, you will be able to access the files and folders you have selected for sharing directly in a web-browser from another location. This feature provides excellent accessibility to your files at home, from for example a school or a public computer, and can also allow you to send files back to your home computer. Password protection is available, if desired.

Full utilization of available bandwidth - Most internet connections advertise transfer speeds of several MBit/s, a promise rarely delivered when transferring files between private computers. The problem is especially evident when transferring data to a someone far away, perhaps in a different state or country, or to someone using a different internet service provider. Internet connections are routed through multiple nodes on the way to their destination, in ways beyond user control, and along the way one router might decide you are not a prioritized customer, or for another reason choke your connection speed.
KiBi-Share can circumvent this problem by simultaneously transferring a file over multiple connections to the same destination, and even though each connection will show slow transfer-rates by itself, all combined the full available bandwidth will be used. This feature requires that the person at the other end of the connection also obtains KiBi-Share, or another download accelerator.
