When Nitip is the Ideal Choice
- You need to copy a link, code snippet, or short note from your laptop to your smartphone.
- You want to quickly transfer a screenshot or PDF document to a colleague in the same office without asking for their phone number or email address.
- You want temporary 24-hour storage that cleans up automatically without cluttering your cloud storage quota.
When Nitip is NOT Suitable
To be transparent, Nitip is not designed for every scenario:
- Long-term file archiving: Nitip automatically deletes all items after 24 hours. Use cloud drives for permanent storage.
- Remote transfers across different networks: Nitip pairs devices on the same local Wi-Fi / IP gateway. Devices on different networks will not see each other's room.
- Very large files (>100 MB): Package sizes are limited to 100 MB total (50 MB per file). Use USB drives or cloud links for multi-gigabyte transfers.
