Why technology companies trust CoShareX
We build web applications that respect your security protocols, delete data footprints by default, and maximize user workflow efficiency.
Every file, paste, or tool runs inside your browser sandbox. We never see your data because it never leaves your machine, ensuring top-tier corporate compliance.
Zero user accounts. Skip onboarding forms, email verifications, and passwords. Open the URL and begin collaborating instantly.
Built with browser-based cryptographic keys. File sharing uses direct peer WebRTC encryption keys, shielding your content from ISP and network surveillance.
Leverages standard Browser APIs (WebRTC, Web Workers, WebAssembly). No heavy desktop app installations or browser extensions needed. Just a clean browser window.
Direct connection skips server uploads. Share files and sync clips directly at your maximum internet connection bandwidth.
Compatible with any modern browser. Share files and copy text seamlessly between iOS, Android, macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Beautiful, pixel-perfect layouts featuring dark mode togglers, high readability typography, and distraction-free workspace pages.
Engineered using robust, industry-standard web protocols. We avoid proprietary lock-ins to enable secure, fast, and predictable browser integrations.
Designed for inclusion. Full screen reader support, keyboard navigability, high color contrast, and legible visual scales.
The CoShareX Unified Ecosystem

Our path to a browser-first productivity network
We are creating a robust suite of decentralized browser utilities. Follow our milestones as we build from standalone active P2P apps into a unified, developer-friendly workflow ecosystem.
CoShareX is integrating privacy-first, on-device AI engines into our utilities. By running models locally (using WebGPU and WebAssembly) or utilizing client-mediated secure channels, we provide state-of-the-art AI summaries, drafting, and coding assistants without compromising your privacy.
We believe you shouldn't have to choose between advanced AI capabilities and privacy safety. All upcoming CoShareX AI features will run inside browser sandboxes or query secure proxy nodes. Your corporate documents, texts, and prompts are never sold or stored for training models.
Compose, edit, and expand text documents locally in the browser sandbox. Draft emails, posts, and articles securely.
Get key takeaways from articles, documents, and transcripts. Fast local summaries without remote processing bottlenecks.
Interact directly with PDFs, spreadsheets, and Markdown files. Processes documents completely client-side in the sandbox.
Explain snippets, refactor code block structures, and generate helper functions directly inside the Paste sandbox.
Translate multi-language documents and texts locally. Retain full document layout structures under complete privacy.
Extract texts from pictures, screenshots, and scans in a secure browser window. No cloud OCR engines needed.
Chain browser operations together automatically using natural language prompts. Save steps, schedule clips, share.
Endorsed by modern teams
See how developers and engineers use CoShareX to share files and collaborate securely directly from their browsers.
“CoShareX's File Share has completely replaced third-party cloud storage for our design handoffs. It's instant, direct, and has zero server overhead.”
“Bypassing account registration while keeping file and text channels fully encrypted is a major win. The Paste sandbox has become an essential daily utility.”
“Processing operations entirely client-side inside the browser sandbox is exactly how web utilities should be designed. The speed and security are exceptional.”
