loopStream can transfer files directly over the local network, making same-Wi-Fi sharing the natural first choice when both devices are nearby.
Local transfer avoids an internet hop
When devices share a network, selected folders can be served directly instead of uploaded to cloud storage first.
Remote relay solves distance
The encrypted relay is useful when the trusted device is away from the local network.
Permissions remain independent of transport
Read-only, upload-only, and full access can still be applied per folder.
