Why Drop

Works across networks — not just Wi-Fi

LAN-only tools need both devices on the same network. Drop's QR pairs your devices over the internet — phone on 5G, computer at the office, doesn't matter.

A live channel, not a one-shot code

One scan opens a real two-way session for 24 hours: send, receive, send again — like a chat between your own devices.

Files up to 3 GB, free

Photos, videos, PDFs, ZIPs — Drop moves big files without email caps or paid tiers.

Both directions, live

It's a realtime channel between your devices, not a one-shot upload. Send back and forth like a chat with yourself.

Nothing to install, no account

Works in the browser on every phone and computer. Scan the QR and you're connected.

Private by design

Encrypted in transit and at rest, and everything self-deletes after 24 hours — or instantly with Delete Now.

FAQ

How does QR code file transfer work?

The QR encodes a unique, unguessable session link. Scanning it joins your phone to the same encrypted channel as your computer — after that, anything either device sends appears on the other in real time.

Can I transfer from phone to phone with a QR code?

Yes — open the site on one phone, scan its QR with the other. Any two devices with a browser can pair.

Do I need to install an app or create an account?

No. Drop runs in the browser on both devices. Open the site on your computer, scan the QR with your phone camera, and you're transferring. Apps exist too, but they're optional.

Is it really free?

Yes — transfers up to 3 GB per file are free, with no signup. Files self-delete after 24 hours, which is also why it stays private.

Is my data safe?

Transfers are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256), links are unguessable, and everything hard-deletes after 24 hours. We never open or scan your files.
