Sharing

Send a file or folder to anyone with one right-click: an end-to-end encrypted croc transfer, or a browser link.

Share via croc

croc sends files directly from your Mac to someone else’s, end-to-end encrypted, with no account and no size limit, across any network. Mac Explorer bundles it, so there’s nothing to install on your side.

  1. Right-click a file or folder ▸ Share “…” via croc (also on Drop shelf rows, and in the menubar panel’s Croc tab).
  2. Mac Explorer generates a code and copies the receive command to your clipboard. It looks like CROC_SECRET="…" croc --yes.
  3. Send that command to the recipient. They paste it into Terminal on their machine (they need croc installed).
  4. Watch the status in the menubar panel: waiting, connecting, a percentage and speed, then sent.

Turn on Keep open to send the same files again with the same code, up to 25 times. That’s handy when several people need them.

Right-click ▸ Share “…” as Link uploads the file or folder to a share server and copies a link when it’s done. The link opens a page where anyone can browse the files, preview text, download individual files, or download everything as a zip. Anyone with the link can open it, so treat it like a password.

  • Upload progress and Cancel are in the Jobs panel.
  • The menubar panel’s Links tab lists your links, where you can copy, open or revoke them.
