Share a complete folder directly
For:All users
No technical knowledge required.A complete folder can contain thousands of files and nested subfolders that need to arrive in the same arrangement. Selecting items individually risks omissions. Creating a ZIP adds packaging time, temporary disk use, and an archive the receiver must unpack before using the files. WolfP2P streams the folder's files between browsers. With supported folder-saving access, it preserves eligible relative paths as a usable collection rather than a hosted link. Browser-download mode flattens paths into filenames instead of recreating the folder tree. Moving it does not delete the originals at the source.
Why WolfP2P fits
With supported source-folder selection and destination-folder saving, a Compatible Browser preserves eligible nested paths without requiring a ZIP archive. There is no transfer application or network share to configure.
The folder travels over an encrypted direct transfer channel, and Safe mode can retain recoverable destination progress for a large file within the set.
Folder transfer is especially useful when the arrangement carries meaning: a website with asset directories, an album organized by year, or a project whose files refer to neighboring folders. Folder-saving mode preserves supported relative paths; it does not reproduce every filesystem permission, timestamp, link, or platform-specific attribute.
Before you start
Connection discovery helps the browsers connect directly across different networks. Some networks still prevent a connection, and there is no relay fallback. See connection requirements. Complete folder preservation and disk-backed large-file handling require a Compatible Browser, such as current Chrome, Edge, or Brave, with the required capabilities confirmed by WolfP2P's live check. Keep both computers online until the transfer finishes. Keep both transfer tabs open until completion. Confirm that the receiver can write to the chosen destination and has enough free space for the transfer mode.
How to share the folder
Check the folder boundary
Open the folder and confirm that it contains everything the receiver needs—and nothing you did not intend to send. Resolve unsafe names or links to material outside the folder.
Select the folder as one source
Create a tunnel in a compatible browser and choose the complete folder instead of selecting its files individually or building a ZIP archive.
Connect the folder's recipient
Privately share the tunnel link or six-character code and confirm that the intended browser has joined.
Choose where the tree will be recreated
The receiver reviews the offered paths and total size, selects a destination folder with enough space, and accepts.
If the browser refuses Documents or reports system files, create a subfolder inside Documents and select that instead. See folder permissions.
Transfer and inspect the structure
Keep both computers online and check nested folders and representative files in the chosen destination folder. Recovery depends on the supported receiving mode and retained state. If using browser-download mode instead, verified receipt means bytes are staged in browser-private storage; save and verify the downloads before clearing site data.
One browser tab represents one tunnel. Reloading or browser-restoring the same tab can resume its session, but genuinely closing the tab ends that session.
WolfP2P preserves file bytes and, in supported folder-saving mode, relative paths, but not the source file's modification date and time. A transferred file receives the current date and time when it is written at the destination.
Questions and answers
Does the receiver get the original folder structure?
With supported folder-saving access, compatible browsers such as Chrome, Edge, or Brave preserve eligible nested relative paths inside the selected destination folder. Browser-download mode flattens paths into filenames instead.
Must the folder be compressed first?
No. WolfP2P enumerates and transfers the selected files without first building a ZIP archive. Compare direct folder transfer with ZIP packaging when portability, compression, or keeping one archive matters.
What happens to files already at the destination?
WolfP2P checks existing files in the receiving folder and skips completed files only when their contents match. It does not keep the folders in sync afterward. See how existing files are checked.
Can any browser receive a large folder safely?
Recreating the folder tree requires supported source-folder selection and writable destination-folder access. A browser without folder-saving access may still receive through browser-download mode when its required browser-private storage capabilities are available, but it will not recreate the folder tree. Check compatibility first.
