How to Sync text and files over WiFi online

Don't you wish you could get that photo you just took from your phone to your computer without pulling out a cable or emailing it to yourself? Or move a document to another computer just to print it? Sure, a USB stick works, and so does emailing yourself — but why spend two minutes on something that should take seconds?

Simple.Savr syncs text and files across all your devices without any software or account. If two devices are on the same WiFi network, they already share a savr — there is genuinely nothing to set up.

Syncing text

Go to the homepage and you'll see one big, lovely textbox. Type anything into it. Now open the same site on another device on your WiFi — the text is just there. No long paste URLs to memorize, no emailing yourself, no setup. That's the whole feature.

Syncing files

Files work the same way. Click the Upload button above the textbox and drag and drop whatever you want to share (or click to browse for files). The upload starts automatically, and the maximum file size is shown at the top of the upload screen.

Then, on any other device on the same network, hit Download — all your uploaded files are there, ready to grab or delete. Files clean themselves up automatically after 7 days.

Files aren't syncing on my devices. What do I do?

If files aren't syncing, text isn't syncing either — which almost always means your devices aren't showing up with the same IP address. Check the debug page on each device: if the IPs match, everything should already work. If they don't (phone on mobile data, laptop on a VPN, that kind of thing), that's easy to fix — link your devices once and they'll sync across networks from then on. Here's how: Link your devices to sync across different WiFi networks.

There you go — a new lifehack. Treat your savr as a clipboard between your devices rather than a filing cabinet, and for secrets you want to share exactly once, use a self-destructing secret note instead.
