How does it work?

Three simple steps, no accounts and nothing to install.

  2. 2

    Select files to send

    Single files, a whole folder, camera photos or text. Files travel in their original full quality without compression.

  3. 3

    Accept the transfer

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Do I need to install an app to use DropDirecto?

No. DropDirecto runs directly in your browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). Just open dropdirecto.com on your devices and start transferring. There is nothing to download or install.

Do my files go through the cloud or get stored on a server?

No. DropDirecto uses WebRTC to send files directly from browser to browser. Your photos, videos and documents never leave your devices to the cloud.

Does DropDirecto work between iPhone and Windows?

Yes. It is compatible with iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux. Both devices just need a browser open with dropdirecto.com.

What if the two devices are not on the same Wi-Fi network?

Use the "With Code" option. A 6-digit code is generated that the other device enters to connect instantly, regardless of which network each is on.

Can I convert photos to PDF and sign it without leaving the page?

Yes. DropDirecto includes a full PDF creation module: scan with the camera, pick photos, reorder them and sign with your finger DocuSign-style before sending or downloading. Everything happens in your browser.

Is DropDirecto free? Is there a file size limit?

Yes, it is completely free with no subscriptions or signups. There is no size limit imposed by the platform.

Can DropDirecto be used as an alternative to WeTransfer or AirDrop?

Yes. Unlike WeTransfer, you do not have to upload your files to the cloud or wait for upload bars and expiring download links: transfers stream directly from device to device at full local network speed. And unlike AirDrop, it works across every operating system (Windows, Android, iPhone, Mac, and Linux) with nothing to install.
