There are a bunch of WebRTC file transfer web apps but they unfortunately all suffer from the legacy cruft that WebRTC brought along. The only data channels are UDP and things like STUN / TURN / ICE are needed to have any hope of breaking through NAT, often with disappointing results.

Ya, for Dat[1], we had a WebRTC implementation and it was unreliable compared to our other clients. We are hoping other in browser p2p options get developed, e.g. https://github.com/noffle/web-udp.
