Abstract: The rapid growth of mobile technology has created significant demand for seamless, secure, and efficient file sharing solutions. Traditional file sharing methods often rely on internet connectivity, cloud servers, or third-party intermediaries, raising concerns about privacy, speed, and data security. This paper presents Atezhare, a session-based Hy (H-(H-P2P)) file sharing mobile application that enables direct device-to-device file transfer without the need for internet access or external servers. The application is built natively for Android and utilizes a dual-mode pairing mechanism comprising QR code scanning and a 6-digit alphanumeric session code to establish cryptographically bounded, time-limited connections between devices. Atezhare incorporates a cloud-integrated session management backend powered by Spring Boot and hosted on Render, with Supabase providing persistent session metadata storage. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the system achieves reliable Hybrid-peer-to-peer connectivity with connection establishment times averaging 3–5 seconds, transfer speeds comparable to cloud-based alternatives under local wireless conditions, and enhanced data privacy due to the elimination of third-party server routing. The paper presents the system's architecture, module description, security mechanisms, implementation details, and comparative evaluation against existing file sharing solutions.
