macOS 11 or later, Apple silicon and Intel. Drag it into Applications like any other app.
Open a browser. Your folder is right there.
Send the address of a folder on your computer. Word, Excel, PowerPoint and drawings open in the browser — nothing to install, no account, and nothing they can change. A PDF whenever they need a copy. Only the folder you pick is shared: the rest of your computer stays out of sight, and you can add a username and password.

01
What it saves you
One window for the files you actually work with — and one address that lets a colleague read them, with nothing they can change.
02
Runs on the computer you already have
The same window on macOS, Windows and Linux. Close it and it waits in the tray, so the address stays live for colleagues.
Windows 10 or later. Unzip it and run the program — no black command window at any point.
Any modern desktop — GNOME, KDE and friends. It sits quietly in the tray; GTK 3 and an app-indicator host are all it needs.
03
Three steps, like any other app
No account, no server, no setup. Pick the folder and start reading.
Download the package for your system and open it. On macOS, drag docWebHub into Applications.
macOS 11+ · Windows 10+
Point it at a project folder, a shared drive or a USB stick. It remembers the last one.
The “Choose folder…” button
Send what the window shows. A colleague opens it in a browser and sees the whole folder — able to read, unable to change a thing.

Questions people ask
Do I need Office or AutoCAD installed?
No. The viewers are built in, so Word, Excel, PowerPoint and DWG files open on a computer that has none of those programs.
Can a colleague change or delete my files?
No. Whoever opens the address can only look: there is no delete, rename or upload button, and nothing is moved or overwritten.
Do my files get uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything is read from your own disk. The only network traffic is you opening the address in a browser.
Does this expose everything on my computer?
No. Whoever opens the address sees only the folder you picked — everything else on the computer, from other drives to your photos, is not part of it and cannot be reached. You can also require a username and password, which keeps even the file list hidden until someone signs in.
Which files can it open?
Word, Excel and PowerPoint (including the old .doc/.xls/.ppt), PDF, images, plain text, Markdown, web pages, audio and video, and DWG/DXF drawings.
Can a colleague look from their phone?
Yes, on the same network. Switch the address to your network card, send it over, and add a password if the network is not trusted.
