## What is DropLink?

DropLink turns files into a link. You pick, you get a compact URL back, and you forward it. Whoever opens the link uses the browser already on their phone or laptop — Safari, Chrome, whatever. Nothing to install on their side.

-----------------------------------------------------------
 HOW IT WORKS
-----------------------------------------------------------

• Choose the files inside DropLink
• Get back a compact link — its last 8 characters use a clear alphabet
  (skipping 0/O and 1/l), so the URL is safe to read aloud on a call
• Forward that link. Whoever gets it needs nothing but a browser. No account
  for them, no download for them, no "please install this to view."

-----------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFER SPEED, TWO WAYS
-----------------------------------------------------------

When we detect both sides on one Wi-Fi network, the transfer swaps to a
direct peer-to-peer path — you'll see the ceiling your router can hit,
not the ceiling your ISP hands you.

Different networks? An encrypted tunnel bridges both ends (WebRTC, DTLS-SRTP
end-to-end). If the download drops mid-way, refreshing the link picks up at
the last byte instead of restarting from zero. Handy for large videos or
ISO files on flaky Wi-Fi.

-----------------------------------------------------------
NO CLOUD, NO ACCOUNT
-----------------------------------------------------------

Files aren't parked on any server. Our relay is a live pipe — bytes pass
through in memory, nothing gets kept on disk. Close the share and every
trace of the link is gone.

• No account, no email, no phone number
• No file content stored on our servers
• No third-party analytics, no ads
• Standard TLS 1.3 through Apple system frameworks

-----------------------------------------------------------
WHO CAN RECEIVE
-----------------------------------------------------------

Whoever you send the link to opens it on:
• iPhone or iPad — Safari, Chrome, whatever browser is installed
• Other phone or tablet — same, no DropLink download required
• Windows PC, Mac, Linux — any modern browser
• Even a shared library computer works, since the receiver installs nothing

## Frequently asked questions about DropLink

### How does DropLink work?

DropLink converts your selected files into a compact URL. Anyone with this link can access the files directly through their web browser, eliminating the need for them to install any application.

### Does DropLink store my files?

No, DropLink does not store your files on any servers. It acts as a live pipe, passing bytes through memory without keeping them on disk. Once a share is closed, all traces of the link are gone.

### What devices can receive files from DropLink?

Recipients can open links on iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets, Windows PCs, Macs, and Linux machines using any modern web browser. No specific app download is required for them.

### Is DropLink secure?

Yes, DropLink uses standard TLS 1.3 through Apple system frameworks for secure transfers. When both parties are on the same Wi-Fi, it uses a direct peer-to-peer path, and for different networks, it employs an encrypted tunnel.

### Can I resume interrupted downloads with DropLink?

Yes, if a download drops mid-way, refreshing the link will allow the recipient to pick up at the last byte transferred, rather than restarting from the beginning. This is particularly useful for large files on unstable connections.

### Does DropLink have ads?

No, DropLink is ad-free. The application also does not use third-party analytics, ensuring a clean and private user experience.

### What is the transfer speed like with DropLink?

Transfer speeds can be very high, especially when both sender and receiver are on the same Wi-Fi network, utilizing a direct peer-to-peer path. For different networks, speeds are limited by the encrypted tunnel and internet connection.

### Do I need an account to use DropLink?

No, DropLink does not require any account creation. You do not need to provide an email, phone number, or any personal information to use its file-sharing capabilities.
