About Wormhole File Transfer
With Wormhole, you can easily and securely share files of any size, with anyone, anywhere. Whether you're sending a document to a colleague, a photo album to a friend, or a video to a family member, Wormhole makes it simple and secure. Wormhole generates a QR code or a passphrase that the recipient can use to access the files. This eliminates the need for complicated file sharing setups or email attachments. The files are transfered using an end-to-end encryption, which ensures that your files are protected from prying eyes. This means that only the intended recipient can receive the files you send.
