Snapdrop

Simple, private, peer-to-peer file sharing between local devices

Peer-to-peer file sharing platform that allows you to quickly transfer files between devices on the same network.

What we love ❤️

  • No account, sign-ups, or installations required - just open the website
  • Transfers files directly between devices, without going through a central server
  • Works on any device with a modern web browser, including mobile
  • Simple drag-and-drop interface for sending and receiving files
  • Respects user privacy by avoiding central servers and logins
  • Open source project maintained by a dedicated community

Worth noting 💡

  • Requires devices to be on the same local network
  • File size limited to 200MB per transfer
  • No options for password protection
  • Works best with smaller files due to browser limitations
  • May not function properly behind some firewalls or on enterprise networks

Snapdrop is an elegant, privacy-focused solution for quick peer-to-peer file sharing between nearby devices without any setup. Its simplicity and respect for user autonomy make it a great tool for everyday file transfers.
