ShareDrop.io guides
Everything in one place. Pick a topic to get started.
Basics
How it works
Two browsers meet through a small helper service, then the file travels directly between them.
Same Wi-Fi
Open ShareDrop.io on two devices that share a network and they show up on each other's screen.
Rooms
A room link lets two devices find each other even when they are not on the same Wi-Fi.
Send text
Besides files, you can pass short text, such as a link or an address, to a connected device.
Compatibility
ShareDrop.io runs in modern browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.
Troubleshooting
Most problems come from the network, a VPN, or a tab that went to sleep.
Setup guide
You do not need an app or an account. Open the site and you are ready.
Is it safe?
Transfers use encrypted WebRTC connections. Your own habits matter just as much.
FAQ
Short answers to the questions people ask most.

Alternatives
ShareDrop alternatives
If ShareDrop.io does not fit your setup, these are the options worth trying.
PairDrop
Both tools send files between browsers. Try each and keep the one that fits your devices.
Snapdrop
Same idea, different tools: local sharing in your browser.
AirDrop
AirDrop is great inside the Apple world. For everything else, use a browser.
WeTransfer
Cloud transfer sites make you upload first. A direct transfer skips that step.
