Description
PairDrop for Android is an Android™ client for the free and open source local file sharing solutions https://pairdrop.net/.
Do you also sometimes have the problem that you just need to quickly transfer a file from your phone to the PC?
USB? - Old fashioned! Bluetooth? - Much too cumbersome and slow! E-mail? - Please not another email I write to myself!
PairDrop!
PairDrop is a local file sharing solution which completely works in your browser. A bit like Apple's Airdrop, but not only for Apple devices. Windows, Linux, Android, IPhone, Mac - no problem at all!
However, even if it theoretically would fully work in your browser, you will love this app if you want to use PairDrop more often in your daily life. Thanks to perfect integration into the Android operating system, files are sent even faster. Directly from within other apps you can select PairDrop to share with.
Thanks to its radical simplicity, "PairDrop for Android" makes the everyday life of hundreds of users easier. As an open source project we don't have any commercial interests but want to make the world a little bit better. Join and convince yourself!
PRIVACY: This app interacts with https://pairdrop.net/ to be able to discover other devices running PairDrop in your local network. However, none of your files is ever sent to any server but are transferred directly peer-to-peer between your devices.
CREDIT: The app and its icon are based on the PairDrop Open Source project. https://github.com/schlagmichdoch/pairdrop
Recent changes: snapdrop.net support has been removed due to security and privacy concerns after the website was acquired by an untrusted company. The app now exclusively supports PairDrop as a safer alternative.

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

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.

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

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

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

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?
