Transfer Files On a Public or Shared Computer
Need a file on a library, school, or internet café PC? Move it with a PIN code instead of signing into your email or cloud account on a machine you don't control.
A safer way to use files on shared machines
Public computers — at libraries, schools, print shops, and internet cafés — are exactly where you don't want to log into your personal Google, Dropbox, or email account. Sessions can be left open, credentials can be cached, and you rarely have time to verify what the machine remembers. Shooting File lets you skip the login entirely.
To get a file onto a public PC, upload it from your own phone first, then just type the 6-digit PIN into Shooting File on the shared computer to download it. To take a file off a public PC, upload it there and enter the PIN on your personal device. At no point do you sign into a personal account on the shared machine.
Because files auto-delete after 10 minutes and no account is involved, there is nothing left behind on the public computer — no logged-in session, no saved password, and no leftover copy waiting in a downloads folder for the next user to find.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to use on a public computer?
Yes — that is the main use case. You never enter a personal login on the shared machine; you only type a temporary PIN, and the file auto-deletes afterward so nothing remains.
Can I use this at a print shop or internet café?
Absolutely. Upload your document from your phone, then enter the PIN on the print-shop or café computer to download and print it — no account sign-in required.
Will my file be left on the public computer?
The file is removed from our servers after 10 minutes. After downloading, you should also delete the local copy from the public PC's downloads folder to be thorough.
Why not just log into my email on the public PC?
Logging into personal accounts on shared machines risks leaving an open session or cached credentials. A one-time PIN avoids exposing any account at all.
