Feel free to ask more precise questions about the architecture but basically it goes like that.

Upon registration, a cryptographic key pair (RSA) is generated on the user's computer so Infinit does not have access to the user's private key.

Infinit keeps in its database the name, email and public key of the user. This information is used to identify someone and make it easy to find your friends, colleagues, clients etc. on the product.

When one wants to transfer files, he/she selects a contact and clicks 'Send'. From that point, Infinit identifies the recipient, connects the sender's and recipient's devices; challenges their identities to make sure it matches and finally transfers the data directly.

In this configuration, the data goes straight from the sender's to the recipient's computer, bypassing the cloud altogether.

Infinit can also be used, as you mentioned, to send to yourself i.e to another of your devices. When you do that, a notification pops up on all of your other devices. The device on which you accept the transfer will receive the files.
