Frequently asked questions

Is DirectDrop free?

Yes. Every feature is free, with no account, no ads, and no file size limits. If it helps you, you can support the project with a donation.

How do I send a file?

Open DirectDrop, share your 6-digit PIN, link, or QR code with the receiver, then pick your files. The transfer starts as soon as they accept.

Is there a file size limit?

No. Files stream directly from your browser to the receiver's disk, so even multi-gigabyte files work.

Are my files private?

Yes. Transfers go browser-to-browser over an end-to-end encrypted WebRTC connection. Files are never uploaded to or stored on a server.

Do both devices need to stay online?

Yes. Transfers are direct, so both browser tabs must stay open until the transfer finishes. Nothing is queued on a server.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. DirectDrop runs in any modern browser on desktop, Android, and iOS — no app install needed. Scan the QR code to connect a phone instantly.
