# Frequently Asked Questions
|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
### What about the connection? It's a P2P-connection directly from device to device or is there any third-party-server?
|
|||
|
|
It uses a P2P connection when WebRTC is supported by the browser. (WebRTC needs a Signaling Server, but it is only used to establish a connection and is not involved in the file transfer).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If WebRTC isn’t supported (Safari, IE) it uses a Web Sockets fallback for the file transfer. The server connects the clients with a stream.

### What about privacy? Will send files be saved on third-party-servers?
|
|||
|
|
No files are saved on a third-party-server.

### Is SnapDrop a fork of ShareDrop?
|
|||
|
|
No. ShareDrop is built with ember. Snapdrop is built with Polymer.
|
|||
|
|
I wanted to play around with Progressive Web Apps and then I got the idea to clone Apple’s Airdrop. By doing research on this idea I found and analysed ShareDrop.
