🛠️ System requirements
Airbase requires a computer running Windows 10 or Windows 11. Your computer must have a working Wi-Fi connection. Ensure that your computer and the device you want to share with reside on the same network.
The software uses minimal system resources. You do not need special permissions or complex network settings to run it. If you have a standard home or office router, the application works right out of the box.
🚀 Setting up the software
Follow these steps to set up Airbase:
- Locate the file you downloaded in your Downloads folder.
- Double-click the file to start the installation.
- Windows might show a security prompt. Click Run or More Info then Run anyway to proceed.
- Follow the prompts on the screen to finish the setup.
- Once the installation finishes, you will see an Airbase icon on your desktop.
🔄 Using the application
Open the application by double-clicking the Airbase icon. A window appears with a clean interface.
When the app opens, it automatically detects your local network. You do not need to configure ports, IP addresses, or host names. Airbase creates a bridge between your computer and other devices automatically.
To share a file:
- Drag and drop the file you want to share into the main application window.
- Airbase creates a unique link for that file.
- Share the link with someone else on your Wi-Fi network.
- That person opens the link in their web browser to download the file.
The application sits in your system tray when you minimize it. You can access the settings or close the app by right-clicking the tray icon near your clock.
🛡️ Privacy and security
Airbase keeps your files on your hardware. No data travels to outside servers. Because the transfer happens over your private Wi-Fi, you control who sees your information. Only people connected to your specific network can access the links you generate.
The application uses modern encryption for local communication. This ensures that your file transfers remain private even on networks with multiple users.
📋 Troubleshooting common issues
If you struggle to connect, check these items:
- Network Profile: Ensure your Windows network profile is set to Private. Public settings often block local discovery.
- Firewall: Windows Firewall might ask for permission the first time you run the app. Click Allow to let the program communicate through the network.
- Wi-Fi Connection: Confirm that both the computer and the recipient device use the same router. Guest networks sometimes prevent devices from seeing each other.
- Updates: If you experience bugs, check the download page for a newer version of the installer.
⚙️ Advanced configuration
Most users never need to change the default settings. However, you can manage how the app handles incoming requests by clicking the settings gear in the corner of the window. You can change the folder where incoming files save or limit who connects to your hub.
Airbase respects your privacy preferences. It does not track your activity or monitor the files you share. Everything stays local.
