No. Open androiddrop.com, add your files and tap Finish upload. You get a QR code, a six-digit code and a link immediately — no sign-up.
No. The receiver can open the share link in any modern browser and download the files. The AndroidDrop Android app adds QR scanning and code entry, which is faster on phones.
Each share (we call it a bucket) holds up to 50 MB and 100 files by default. The current limits are always shown on the upload screen.
Shares expire automatically — 24 hours by default, shown on the result screen. You can also choose a one-time link, which is deleted right after the first complete download.
It is a short alternative to the QR code. Type it into AndroidDrop on the receiving device. If you turn on Require a pairing code, the code becomes mandatory: the QR or link alone won't download your files.
Yes. Tap Revoke share on the result screen in the same browser that created it. Downloads stop and the files are removed.
Almost anything: documents, PDFs, photos, videos, archives (ZIP, RAR, 7z) and Android APKs. Files are sent byte-for-byte — never compressed or resized.
Files travel over HTTPS to private storage, links use long random tokens, and shares expire. For sensitive files, turn on the pairing code and send the code through a different channel (e.g. a text message), and use a one-time link.
Common causes are a file larger than the remaining space in the bucket, a lost network connection, or a blocked file type. Failed files show a Retry button; see our guide on fixing failed uploads.
Yes. AndroidDrop is free to use and is supported by advertising on our content pages.
