Cross-platform file transfer
Send files from computer to phone, tablet and back
DropToPhone is a browser-based AirDrop-style alternative for moving files between modern devices. Scan a QR code, wait for the secure connection, then send photos, PDFs, videos, archives or documents in either direction.
Works both ways
Send files from computer to phone, phone to computer, tablet to laptop, or between modern browsers.
No app install
The transfer workspace runs in the browser, so users do not need accounts, app stores or device-specific setup.
Encrypted transport
File bytes use encrypted WebRTC DataChannels when the devices can establish a route.
Progress and confirmation
Each file shows status, progress, verification and completion so both devices know what happened.
Bulk saving
Download every received file as one ZIP, share received media to the photo workflow, or save files to a chosen folder when supported.
Private by design
DropToPhone is built without a cloud file library; transfer history stays local to the browser.
