It goes straight there.
elevo connects the two devices to each other and the file travels between them, as fast as that connection allows. When a direct path cannot be found, the encrypted traffic passes through a relay that cannot read it.
Someone sent you files.
To get them, you first need elevo. It is free: enter your e-mail address, download, and that is it. It only takes a moment.
elevo is not ready for this device yet. Open this code on a device that has elevo.
Amira Labs keeps your address to know who downloads elevo and to be able to contact you about it. How it is used
- Enter your e-mail address and download elevo. It is free.
- Install elevo and open it.
- Paste this code under Receive. The files come straight from the sender’s device to yours.
Already have elevo? Open in elevo
The code works while the sender keeps offering the files. Nothing is stored in between.
Your files. Your way.
Send files and folders from one device straight to another. No account, no upload, no cloud in between.
Free download
Free to download and to use. No account to create.
A demonstration: a file is dropped on elevo on one device, its code is copied and pasted on another, and the file arrives there, checked.
Device to device. No servers. No cloud.
What happens between the two devices
It picks up where it stopped.
Close the lid, lose the Wi-Fi, restart the computer. What has arrived stays on disk, and the transfer goes on from there by itself.
Every block is checked on arrival.
Each piece is verified against the fingerprint of the original before it is kept. What you receive is what was sent, bit for bit.
As big as it is.
elevo sets no size limit, and a folder arrives as the folder it was, with everything in its place. The only ceiling is the free space on the other side.
Sending something takes three moves
-
Drop it on the elephant.
Files or folders, on the elephant icon or in the panel that opens from it.
-
Send the code.
It is already copied. Paste it in a message, an email, wherever you talk to them.
-
They paste it and receive.
elevo on their side fetches the files straight from your device. You both see them arrive.
The rest of it
- A code is all it takes
- No address book, no pairing. Whoever has the code can receive, for as long as you offer the files.
- Encrypted end to end
- Only the two devices can read what travels between them.
- Nothing gets replaced
- If a name is already taken on the other side, the new arrival gets a name of its own.
- The same code after a restart
- What you were offering comes back when the computer does, under the code you already sent.
- Keep Awake
- One switch stops the computer from sleeping for as long as you choose. During transfers it looks after itself.
- Always one click away
- elevo stays out of the way, behind the elephant icon. One click opens it; there is no window to manage.
- No account
- Nothing to sign in to and no password. An e-mail address is asked for once, when you download.
- In 15 languages
- elevo speaks 15 languages, from English and Português to 日本語 and 한국어.
Questions
Is elevo free?
Yes. The app is free to download and to use. If paid plans ever exist, nothing you already use starts charging by itself: the Terms say so.
Do my files pass through your servers?
No. Files go from one device to the other and are never stored anywhere in between. When the two devices cannot reach each other directly, the encrypted traffic passes through a relay run by a third party, which cannot read it.
Is there a size limit?
None set by elevo. The limit is the free space on the receiving device, and elevo checks it before filling the disk.
What if the connection drops halfway?
The transfer waits and tries again by itself, from where it stopped. It also survives closing elevo and restarting the computer.
Does the other person need elevo?
Yes. A send code opens in elevo on their device. Opened in a browser, the code leads to this site, to download it.
Does my device have to stay on?
Yes, while the other side is receiving. The files come from your device, so it has to be awake and online. Keep Awake looks after the awake part.
How long does a code work?
For as long as you keep offering the files, up to the time you choose in Settings: 24 hours unless you change it. You can stop offering at any moment.
Which devices does it run on?
elevo is made for Mac, Windows and iPhone. The download section of this page shows which of them are ready today.
What does elevo know about me?
Not your files, their names, or who you send them to. To download, this site asks for an e-mail address and keeps it. Once you accept the Terms, the app reports a random installation identifier, the model of the device and the versions of elevo and of the system, so installations can be counted. You can turn that off in Settings.
