Install WinFSP(Required)

WinFSP enables Wormhole to mount remote folders as local drives. One-time setup.

WinFSP (Windows File System Proxy) is an open-source tool similar to FUSE on Linux. It's widely used and trusted.

Double-click the downloaded installer and follow the prompts. Wormhole will be installed and added to your Start Menu.

You're Ready!

Launch Wormhole from the Start Menu. The app will guide you through sharing your first folder or connecting to someone else's share.

Why isn't Wormhole signed?

Windows code signing certificates cost $200-400/year. As a free, open-source project, we can't justify that cost. The entire codebase is public and all releases are built by GitHub Actions with full transparency.
