About DropAny

DropAny is a free, browser-based way to send files directly between any two devices — an AirDrop alternative that works across iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux, with nothing to install and nothing uploaded to the cloud.

What DropAny is

DropAny is a free, cross-platform file-transfer tool that runs entirely in your web browser. Pair two devices with a one-time 6-digit code (or a QR code) and send files directly between them — no app to install, no account to create, and no fixed size limit.

How it works

DropAny uses the browser’s native WebRTC to open a direct, end-to-end encrypted connection between your two devices. Files travel peer-to-peer over that channel instead of being uploaded to a server, so there’s no cloud storage, no upload wait and no size cap. It works between devices on the same Wi-Fi and across different networks over the internet.

Built privacy-first

There are no accounts, no tracking, no analytics and no ads, and your files are never stored on a server. The service’s only role is to help your two devices find each other — it never sees the contents of what you send. Full details are on the Privacy Policy page.

The technology

DropAny is built on the browser’s WebRTC DataChannel (encrypted with DTLS) and runs on Cloudflare’s edge network. The pairing step only exchanges the connection-setup messages the two browsers need; the actual file transfer happens directly between the devices.

FAQ

Is DropAny free?

Yes, completely free. There’s no paid tier, no account, and no fixed file-size limit — you’re bound only by your own devices and network.

Do I need to install an app?

No. DropAny runs entirely in your browser on both devices — there’s nothing to download or install.

Which devices does it work with?

Any device with a modern browser: iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux, in any combination. That’s why it works where AirDrop and Quick Share don’t.

Do you store my files?

Never. Files are sent directly device-to-device, end-to-end encrypted, and are not uploaded to or stored on any server. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture.
