File transfers that just work.
Send files between phones, laptops, and tablets directly over your local network. PIN-secured. No cloud. No accounts. No ads.
Designed around what local sharing should be.
Every choice serves one goal: move your files between your devices, fast, without anyone else in the loop.
Three-tier device trust
Your own devices need no PIN. Saved devices auto-accept. Anything new shows a 4-digit code that has to be typed in to connect — and the session expires after 4 hours.
Works without a router
No Wi-Fi network around? Turn on a phone hotspot and FileToDrop finds the other device automatically. iPhone tethering works out of the box.
Zero ads, zero accounts
Buy it once. No sign-up, no analytics, no telemetry phoning home. Files never touch a server we run — there are none.
Truly cross-platform
One protocol, one experience. Android and Linux today; Windows, macOS, and iOS coming next. Every platform talks to every other.
Three steps. No setup.
From install to first file, you're looking at under a minute. There's nothing to configure.
Open on both devices
Launch FileToDrop on the device sending and the one receiving. They find each other on the network automatically.
Tap the device, share the PIN
The receiver shows a 4-digit code. Read it out loud, the sender taps it in. That's the pairing — done once per session.
Pick files and send
Photos, PDFs, scanned documents, anything from your file manager. The receiver approves each one and they land in your chosen folder.
Every screen earns its place.
No cluttered preferences, no buried menus. The whole app lives on a handful of clear screens.
Settings
Pick where photos and other files land. Set how long sessions stay alive. That's most of it.
Transfer history
Browse past transfers by date or by device. Tap any item to open the saved file.
Pick your platform.
Android and Linux are ready now. The rest are on the way.
Your files, your network. That's it.
FileToDrop talks straight from one device to another over your local Wi-Fi or hotspot. Nothing routes through us. There is no "us" in the path.
