IcyZip
Live text and small file transfers between two browsers
AustriaEUEU hostedFree planEU controlledIcyZip connects two browser tabs by QR code or link to exchange live text, links, code and one selected file up to 25 MiB. It works on phones and computers without an account or app, including across different networks. Both browsers must stay open and online.
The service is owned and operated by Richard Andresik in Steyr, Austria. It suits quick device-to-device handoffs that you might otherwise use AirDrop for. Transfers pass through an internet relay; there is no nearby-device discovery, peer-to-peer transfer, folder synchronisation, cloud storage or offline pickup.
The legal notice names Richard Andresik personally as service provider, media owner and operator. His Austrian Economic Chamber registration confirms the same individual business in Steyr, and the privacy policy names him as controller.
Pricing
Currently free to use, without an account. The current limit is one selected file up to 25 MiB per transfer.
