Understand and troubleshoot browser-to-browser transfers
Resources grounded in Mándamele’s actual implementation: what happens when a Pase is created, where data travels, which limits apply and what to check before sending an important file.
How to transfer files between a phone and computer without cloud storage
Mándamele joins two open browsers with a temporary Pase. The computer can create the code and the phone can join, or the direction can be reversed; either side can send once connected.
Read guideHow browser-to-browser transfers work
A direct transfer has two separate paths: the service coordinates the meeting, while the browsers exchange content over the DataChannel they negotiate.
Read guideWebRTC data channels and what “direct transfer” means
Mándamele uses RTCPeerConnection and an ordered DataChannel for content. The server signals the connection, but the implementation does not accept files as a fallback.
Read guideTemporary codes, QR links and Pase security
The six-character code identifies a temporary session and the QR carries its join URL. Both should be treated as access invitations while the Pase remains open.
Read guideP2P transfer versus email, cloud links and shared folders
There is no universally best method: a temporary connection reduces content persistence in the service, while email and cloud tools make delayed access and recovery possible.
Read guideTroubleshooting restrictive networks and failed connections
Mándamele has no TURN configuration and no server fallback for files. Troubleshooting means separating site access, signalling and the direct WebRTC route.
Read guideBrowser and device compatibility based on actual tests
Validation on 7 August 2026 covers Chromium 150 on Debian Linux, two independent profiles, real text and file transfer, and 1280×800 and 390×844 layouts.
Read guidePrivacy and security checklist before sending files
A direct path reduces exposure to service-side storage, but it cannot correct a wrong recipient, compromised device or uncontrolled downloaded copy.
Read guideThe compatibility guide separates completed tests from expected capabilities. We do not claim support for a browser or device that we have not checked.
