About
Sharing files with strangers, made simple.
StreetShare exists because the gap between "I just took a great photo of you" and "here, this is yours" has always been too wide. AirDrop is platform-locked. Texting requires a number. Email requires typing on someone else's phone. None of it should be that hard.
The story.
StreetShare started with a specific moment in mind: a street photographer takes a candid of someone on a sidewalk, the subject notices, the photographer wants to give them the photo, and the options for actually doing that are all bad. Type their phone number into yours? Hand them a card and hope they email? Pull up Instagram and start a DM with someone you've never met?
Every option asks one of you to commit personal information to the other before the file even moves. That kills the moment. So StreetShare flips the order: the file moves first, contact info is optional, and the recipient never has to install anything.
Once the flow worked for photography, it became obvious it worked for everything else too. Passing a PDF to a contractor on site. Sharing event photos with people you don't know. Getting a video from your iPhone to someone's Android. Anywhere two people stand next to each other and one of them has a file the other wants — that's the use case.
What we believe.
The recipient never has to do anything
No app, no account, no sign-up. Scan, view, save. If you can't make sharing trivial for the person on the receiving end, you don't really have file sharing.
Default to forgetting
Free-tier files auto-delete after 30 days. The default isn't “keep this forever” — it's “move this from A to B and then move on.” Plus exists for when you do want to keep things.
Ship the smallest version that works
No social graph. No feeds. No comments. Three taps to a QR code, and a recipient page that does one thing well. Every feature past that has to earn its keep.
Pay once you outgrow the free version
We'd rather you use StreetShare for free for years than push you into a paywall. Plus is for people who hit the storage cap or want files to live longer than a month.
Under the hood.
StreetShare is a small, intentional stack. The mobile app is built with Expo and React Native. The web is Next.js on Vercel. Files live in Supabase Storage. Subscriptions go through Stripe. Transactional email is Resend. We picked each piece because it lets a small team ship reliably without a lot of moving parts.
We don't have ads, we don't sell data, and we don't make money on the free tier. We make money when people get enough value to subscribe. That alignment matters to us.
