Send files between phone and PC without an app

Two devices, one 6-digit code — no account, no app, no waiting room.

  1. Create a code

    On the first device, tap “Create connection”. DropAny instantly generates a one-time 6-digit code and a matching QR code — no sign-up, no email.

  2. Enter it on the other device

    On the second device, type the 6-digit code or scan the QR. A lightweight signaling step lets the two browsers discover each other and shake hands.

  3. Transfer directly

    A direct, end-to-end encrypted WebRTC channel opens between the two devices. Drop any file or send a message — it travels peer-to-peer, never through a server.

Why DropAny

A cross-platform AirDrop alternative that isn’t locked to one ecosystem — and never uploads your files to the cloud.

AirDrop for Windows & Android

AirDrop only works between Apple devices. DropAny connects iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux — so you get an AirDrop-style experience on Windows and Android too.

Send files without an app or signup

Nothing to install and no account to create. Open the page in any browser, share a code, and you’re transferring files between phone and PC in seconds.

Transfer large files between devices

Because the transfer is device-to-device, there are no upload limits and no cloud quotas — send a photo or a multi-gigabyte video between any two devices.

Frequently asked questions

Is DropAny really end-to-end encrypted?

Yes. DropAny uses the browser’s native WebRTC DataChannel, which is encrypted with DTLS by default. Files and messages are encrypted on the sending device and decrypted only on the receiving device, so no one in between can read them.

Do I need to install an app or create an account?

No. DropAny runs entirely in your browser. There’s nothing to download and no signup — just open the site on both devices and pair them with the 6-digit code.

How do I transfer files between iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac?

Open DropAny in a browser on both devices and pair them with the 6-digit code. Because it’s fully cross-platform, you can transfer files iPhone to Windows, Android to Mac, or Linux to iPhone — exactly where AirDrop and Quick Share fall short.

Can I transfer large files between devices for free?

Yes, with no fixed size limit. Files are sent directly between the two devices instead of being uploaded to a server, so you’re bound only by your devices and network, not by a cloud quota — and DropAny is completely free.

Can I send files without uploading them to the cloud?

Yes. Your files travel directly from one device to the other over a peer-to-peer connection, so nothing is uploaded to the cloud. DropAny’s server only helps the two devices find each other; it never sees or stores your file contents.

Which browsers are supported?

Any browser with WebRTC support: Chrome 63+, Safari 13+, Firefox 58+, and Edge 79+, on both desktop and mobile.

How can I send files between phone and computer wirelessly without an app?

Open DropAny in the browser on your phone and your computer, create a code on one and enter it on the other. Files then transfer wirelessly, peer-to-peer — no app, no cable, and no signup.

Why does Snapdrop not work on a different network, and does DropAny?

Snapdrop only connects devices on the same Wi-Fi, so it fails across different networks. DropAny pairs devices with a 6-digit code over the internet, so it can connect across different networks too. (The single-use code expires after about 10 minutes if no one joins.) The same applies to Pairdrop and ShareDrop, which are also Wi-Fi-only.
