Send large videos between devices
Multi-gigabyte videos can go straight across with no cloud upload.
Steps
- Open the official ShareDrop.io website on your phone or computer and on your other device.
- Put both devices on the same Wi-Fi network. If they are on different networks, create a room on one device and open its link on the other.
- Wait until the other device appears on your screen as an icon.
- Click or tap that icon and choose the files you want to send.
- On the receiving device, accept the incoming file prompt.
- Keep both tabs open until the progress bar finishes, then save the file.
Why this works well
Since nothing is uploaded first, a long video does not have to finish uploading before the download can begin.
Tips
- Keep both screens awake and both tabs open.
- Same Wi-Fi gives the best speed.
- Close heavy apps and tabs to free memory.
Features can change over time. Check the official ShareDrop.io site for the latest details.
