Comments on PairDrop for Android

★★★★☆ Chandan Chandna · Jun 16, 2026

The app is good but needs one improvement As my phone is on Wi-Fi network and my pc is connected through Lan (static IP corporate setting). I used to transfer files from phone to pc, but I see that most of the time this Wi-Fi to Lan transfer dropped in between and the files did not successfully transfer. The app works fine when both PC and Phone on the same Wi-Fi network. I don't know if there is any setting I am missing, or it's an app bug. Pls reply-any users facing a similar problem.

Great open source tool to quickly send files from one device to another on any platform.

★☆☆☆☆ Emma Jones · Mar 28, 2025

Snapdrop was great... pairdrop drops my connection every 10 seconds, and I can't even find what I need to upload before it disconnects.

★☆☆☆☆ Rikus Van Dyk · Aug 11, 2025

The servers are very, very unreliable. Don't use this as your primary share app, it will have issues the moment you need to actually use it for something important... Explore other alternatives like Local Send

★☆☆☆☆ Vishal Sharma · Nov 7, 2025

Needs internet access. If I wanted to transfer files using internet, I'd have chosen any other platform. Why don't this app allows file transfer in offline mode?

★☆☆☆☆ Anderson Bangit · Jun 16, 2025

Can't detect other devices if file selected for sharing is more than 5
