Features

PairDrop is a sublime alternative to AirDrop that works on all platforms.

Send images, documents or text via peer to peer connection to devices in the same local network/Wi-Fi or to paired devices. As it is web based, it runs on all devices.

You want to quickly send a file from your phone to your laptop?
You want to share photos in original quality with friends that use a mixture of Android and iOS?
You want to share private files peer to peer between Linux systems?
AirDrop is unreliable again?
Send it with PairDrop!

Developed based on Snapdrop

Differences to Snapdrop

Device Pairing

Pair devices via 6-digit code or QR-Code
Pair devices outside your local network or in complex network environment (public Wi-Fi, company network, Apple Private Relay, VPN etc.).
Connect to devices on your mobile hotspot.
Paired devices will always find each other via shared secrets even after reopening the browser or the Progressive Web App
You will always discover devices on your local network. Paired devices are shown additionally.
Paired devices outside your local network that are behind a NAT are connected automatically via Open Relay: Free WebRTC TURN Server

Improved UI for sending/receiving files

Files are transferred only after a request is accepted first. On transfer completion they are downloaded automatically if possible.
Multiple files are downloaded as ZIP file
On iOS and Android the devices share menu is opened instead of downloading the files
Multiple files are transferred at once with an overall progress indicator
