DropAny is a free WeTransfer alternative that sends your files straight from one browser to the other, end-to-end encrypted, instead of parking them on a server. There is no 2 GB cap, no account, and nothing to install — just open the page on both devices and start sending.
Enter this code on the other device, or scan the QR.
Tap the button to request a one-time 6-digit code so the other device can join.
WeTransfer uploads your file to its servers and gives you a link the recipient downloads later — handy, but your data sits in someone else's cloud, the free tier tops out around 2 GB, and links expire after a few days. DropAny works the opposite way: it opens a direct, end-to-end encrypted WebRTC channel between the two devices, so the file travels device-to-device and is never stored anywhere. The trade-off is honest — because nothing is uploaded, both people need to be online at the same moment, so DropAny is built for live sharing rather than a download-it-tomorrow link.
Open the site in any browser and tap "Create connection" to get a one-time 6-digit code (or a QR code) — no signup, no email address required.
On the receiving phone or computer, open the same page and type the 6 digits (or scan the QR). A direct encrypted connection opens between the two browsers.
Drop in photos, videos, PDFs or whole folders of any size. They stream straight to the other device — never through a server — with live progress as they go.

DropAny is a strong free WeTransfer alternative when both people are online together. It sends files directly between two browsers, end-to-end encrypted, with no cloud upload, no 2 GB cap, no signup and no app. For send-now-download-tomorrow links, a cloud service like WeTransfer still fits better.
Yes. DropAny is one of the few apps like WeTransfer with no size limit, because it never uploads your file to a server. The data streams device-to-device over an encrypted peer-to-peer connection, so a 10 GB video moves just as easily as a single photo.
Yes. DropAny opens a direct encrypted channel between the two browsers, so your files go straight from one device to the other and are never stored on any server. Nothing is uploaded, kept, or scanned — once the transfer ends, no copy remains online.
There are no download links to expire. Instead of a link, DropAny uses a one-time 6-digit pairing code that connects the two devices live, then transfers the files directly. Because both devices must be online at the same time, the file is delivered in the moment rather than left on a server to fetch later.
