About PeerDrop — A Modern AirForShare Alternative
PeerDrop is a free web tool for sharing clipboard text and files between devices on the same Wi‑Fi network. It works like AirForShare but sends data peer-to-peer for faster transfers with no cloud storage of your data.
Why Choose PeerDrop Over AirForShare?
No app install needed
Open peerdrop.co.in in any modern browser — works on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, and ChromeOS.
Peer-to-peer privacy
Your files never touch a cloud server. Data travels directly between browsers over an encrypted peer-to-peer connection.
Multi-file transfer with progress
Queue multiple files, watch live transfer progress with packet-level tracking, and download when ready.
Shared clipboard
Paste a note on one device and it appears on every connected device — perfect for sharing links, code snippets, or passwords.
Completely free
No premium tier, no ads, no sign-up wall. PeerDrop is free to use for personal and team file sharing.
How PeerDrop Works (Technical Overview)
PeerDrop uses peer-to-peer connections for direct browser-to-browser file transfer. When two devices connect to the same Wi‑Fi and open PeerDrop, a lightweight signaling server pairs them by network. After the initial handshake, all data — text and files — flows directly between the browsers without passing through any server.
Large files are split into small packets and reassembled on the receiving end, providing reliable transfer with live progress tracking. A TURN server fallback ensures connectivity even on restrictive networks.
Popular Use Cases
Phone → Laptop
Share photos from your phone to your laptop without cables or email.
Team meetings
Share links, notes, or presentation files with everyone in the room.
Classroom sharing
Teachers share handouts and students share completed work — all on school Wi‑Fi.
Cross-platform clipboard
Copy text on Android, paste on Mac — PeerDrop bridges every operating system.
Built for privacy-first same-network sharing
PeerDrop started as a modern answer to a simple problem: sharing between your own devices should not require uploading files to someone else's server. Many older tools relay data through the cloud, which adds delay and raises privacy questions. PeerDrop keeps the workflow in the browser and sends data directly device to device.
The project is open source and free for personal, classroom, and team use. You can run it on your home Wi‑Fi, office LAN, school network, or even a mobile hotspot when you need a quick transfer between a phone and laptop.
Whether you are replacing AirForShare, comparing PairDrop alternatives, or looking for AirDrop-style sharing on Windows and Android, PeerDrop gives you a single link that works everywhere a modern browser runs.
