    How DropItOver Works

    Three friction-free methods to transfer files across any operating system.

    STEP 1

    Direct Wi-Fi P2P Transfer

    Open dropitover.com on both devices connected to the same Wi-Fi or hotspot. Both devices automatically discover each other via WebRTC. Tap a peer to stream files directly browser-to-browser with 0 cloud storage.

    STEP 2

    AES-256 Encrypted Share Links

    Need to send a file to someone on another network? Drop files into "Send a link", set your expiration duration (1 hour to 7 days), and optionally enable "Delete after download". Uploads travel over HTTPS and are encrypted with AES-256-GCM in the Worker before storage.

    STEP 3

    Real-Time Transfer Rooms

    Collaborating in a team or classroom? Click "Start a room" to create an instant private collaborative mesh for up to 8 people. Scan the QR code to join and swap files bi-directionally in real-time.


    Security & Data Handling

    How DropItOver protects your documents, 4K videos, and sensitive data.

    WebRTC DataChannel DTLS Encryption

    Direct peer transfers travel through WebRTC DataChannels secured by Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS). Data packets are encrypted end-to-end between your devices; our signaling servers only broker connection metadata.

    Ephemeral Cloud Purging

    Link transfers stored in temporary edge object storage are automatically deleted by scheduled cleanup crons after expiry on the scheduled cleanup cycle, or after a completed burn-after-read download. Link metadata includes file names and sizes.

    Zero Compression & Lossless Quality

    DropItOver transfers the selected file bytes without transcoding. Your 4K videos, high-resolution RAW photos, and ZIP archives arrive byte-for-byte identical.


    Platform Capabilities & Technical Limits

    Engineered for speed, cross-device interoperability, and maximum bandwidth utilization.

    2 GB File Limit & 8 GB Bundles

    Send massive video files, CAD designs, codebases, or disk images up to 2 GB per individual file and 8 GB per share link without subscription paywalls.

    Universal Cross-Platform Transfer

    Works smoothly across Windows 10/11, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS (iPhone/iPad), and ChromeOS directly within modern Chromium, WebKit, and Gecko browsers.

    No Account, Sign-Up, or App Install

    Zero friction. You never have to create an account, verify an email address, or install invasive desktop background software.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I transfer files between Android, Windows, iPhone, and Mac?
    Open dropitover.com on both devices. Browsers sharing a public IP can appear under "Devices on your Wi-Fi". Confirm the recipient, select a file, and have them accept the transfer. For remote devices, click "Get a link".
    Is DropItOver free and what is the file size limit?
    DropItOver is 100% free with no account creation or subscription required. You can send files up to 2 GB per file, with no limit on how many files you send at once. A single share link can total up to 8 GB.
    Are my transfers secure and private?
    Nearby and room file payloads use browser-to-browser DTLS; a TURN server may relay encrypted packets. Signaling processes connection metadata. For links, the Worker handles plaintext and encrypts file chunks with AES-256-GCM before R2 storage.
    How does DropItOver differ from Apple AirDrop or Snapdrop?
    AirDrop is restricted solely to Apple hardware. Snapdrop focuses on browser-based peer transfers, with discovery dependent on its deployment. DropItOver works across every platform (Android, Windows, Mac, iOS, Linux) and provides both direct local P2P and encrypted remote links.
    Does DropItOver compress or reduce the quality of my photos and videos?
    No. DropItOver never compresses, transcodes, or modifies your files. Everything is transferred byte-for-byte in original raw resolution.
    How long do shared links remain active?
    When creating an encrypted link, you can choose an expiration time from 1 hour up to 7 days. Once expired, or if you select "Delete once downloaded", the file is permanently purged from storage.
