Why is Handrive Free?
Paid transfer tools route your files through their cloud infrastructure. That costs them money in bandwidth, storage, and servers — costs they pass on to you as per-GB fees, monthly subscriptions, or annual licenses.
Handrive uses direct peer-to-peer transfers. Your files go directly from your device to the recipient's device. No cloud servers. No middleman. No infrastructure costs to recoup.
This isn't a loss leader or a freemium trap. P2P architecture fundamentally eliminates the costs that force other tools to charge. Handrive can be free forever because it costs almost nothing to operate.
