AirDrop for Windows & Android — Share Files Like Apple, On Any Device
Apple's AirDrop only works between iPhones, iPads, and Macs. PeerDrop brings the same instant same-WiFi sharing experience to Windows, Android, Linux, and ChromeOS — no app to install, no account to create. It's like AirForShare but peer-to-peer, so your files never touch a cloud server.

Why AirDrop Doesn't Work on Windows or Android
AirDrop uses Apple's proprietary Bluetooth Low Energy and peer-to-peer Wi-Fi protocol, which only works between Apple devices. There is no official AirDrop app for Windows, Android, or Linux. Google's Quick Share (formerly Nearby Share) works between Android and Windows, but not with iPhones or Macs.
PeerDrop solves this by using peer-to-peer in the browser — every device with a web browser can participate. No ecosystem lock-in, no app store download, no Bluetooth pairing. Just open peerdrop.co.in on both devices while on the same Wi-Fi.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is there an AirDrop for Windows?
- Not officially from Apple. PeerDrop gives you the same experience — open it in any browser on your Windows PC and share files with other devices on the same Wi-Fi instantly.
- How do I AirDrop from iPhone to Windows PC?
- Open PeerDrop (peerdrop.co.in) in Safari on your iPhone and in Chrome or Edge on your Windows PC. Both must be on the same Wi-Fi. Then share files or text through the PeerDrop interface — transfers happen peer-to-peer.
- Is PeerDrop better than AirForShare for this?
- PeerDrop transfers files directly between devices (peer-to-peer), while AirForShare routes data through their servers. PeerDrop is also completely free with no size limits or premium tiers.
Cross-platform sharing without the Apple ecosystem
Apple AirDrop is convenient but limited to Apple devices. Windows PCs, Android phones, Chromebooks, and Linux laptops cannot receive AirDrop files natively. PeerDrop bridges that gap with a browser tab: open the same site on each device while they share a Wi‑Fi network, then send photos, documents, or clipboard text peer to peer.
This approach avoids app store installs, account creation, and cloud middlemen. Transfers are peer-to-peer between browsers, so files do not upload to a cloud drive.
Try PeerDrop the next time you need to move files from an iPhone to a Windows PC, from Android to a Mac, or between any two browsers in the same room.
