Free Fast Large File Transfer
Rebuilt for the AI Era
Fast, private, peer-to-peer file transfer with AI automation built in. Free forever, end-to-end encrypted, no cloud server in the middle.
Three Problems, One Architecture
Data volumes are growing fast. Privacy matters more than ever. Automation needs to be intelligent. One design answers all three.
Free Forever
Data volumes are growing exponentially. Per-GB pricing that works at 100 GB becomes untenable at 10 TB and impossible at petabyte scale. Free means your costs don't grow with your data.
P2P = no server costs to pass on. Free at any scale.
Total Privacy
When files go through third-party servers, you're trusting someone else with your data. With direct P2P transfer, your files go straight from your device to theirs — no middleman, no trust required.
Direct P2P + E2E encryption. Files never touch a third-party server.
AI-Native Automation
Modern workflows involve too many files and too many steps to manage manually. The tool that moves your files must speak AI natively.
40+ MCP tools + REST API. AI agents orchestrate everything.
Desktop, CLI, REST API, and MCP — one tool, every workflow.
Transfers that just work
Built for real-world conditions. Move terabytes across the globe or sync files over unreliable networks - Handrive handles it all.
Any File, Any Size
Transfer a single 100GB video or a million small files. No limits, no waiting for uploads.
Full Speed Everywhere
Lossy WiFi, SATELLITE, or across the globe - full bandwidth with no slowdown. Friendly to high packet loss and other traffic.
Pick Up Where You Left Off
Connection dropped? Laptop went to sleep? No problem - restart and RESUME from where you left off.
Encrypted End-to-End
Your files are ENCRYPTED before they leave your device. Only you and your recipients can see them.
How it works
File sharing like your OS, but universal. No cloud required.
Share a Folder
Point to any folder on your device. It stays on your machine—nothing uploads.
Add Members
Grant access by email. Choose their role: Admin, Editor, or Viewer.
Connect to Contact
Add someone as a contact to see shares from all their devices.
Browse & Download
See folders they've shared with you. Download files directly—peer-to-peer, no size limits.
Works like network file sharing. On your computer, you connect to a machine, then see its shared folders. Handrive does the same across the internet—your email is your identity, contacts are your connections. One contact, all their devices. Files transfer directly, never through our servers.
Built for Teams That Move Big Files
Whether you're shipping dailies or training AI models, the same architecture delivers: free, private, and fast.
Media & Entertainment
Transfer dailies, raw footage, and large media files without per-GB fees.
- ProRes, DPX, MXF, EXR — any format, any size
- Headless mode for NAS and studio servers
- AI automation with 40+ MCP tools
AI Data Centers
Move AI training data, model weights, and datasets at petabyte scale for $0/GB.
- Latency-independent protocol for satellite links
- Headless mode for edge and data center deployment
- AI agent orchestration via MCP
Move the bytes with Handrive.
Act on them with Handover.
Handover is the agentic-apps platform built for enterprises that already move data with Handrive. Compose MCP resources, small-LLM skills, and frontier agents into apps that triage, classify, summarize, route — and schedule themselves on cron. Publish working apps to a cross-tenant store so the rest of the org can install them in one click.
- Domain experts ship in days. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of agentic apps — composed by the people who know the problem, not by a central platform team six months out.
- Multi-tenant by design. Tenants are the security boundary. Secret values are Fernet-encrypted at rest and never enter logs — only secret names appear in audit trails.
- Apps export as YAML. Agents, skills, resources, hooks, quests, variables — one bundle. Diff in PR, review like code, ship to a different tenant or environment.
- Hooks at every boundary. Redact PII, fetch a token, write an audit row, abort on a guardrail breach. Compliance lives in code, not in a policy doc.
- Cross-tenant App Store. Publish a snapshot of any app, install it as a fork into another tenant. No live link between publisher and installer; secret values never travel — names only.
