## What is QuickDrop?

With QuickDrop, you can seamlessly send and receive photos, videos, text files, and more between your Android phone and your iPhone, iPad or Mac using Quick Share on the same Wi-Fi network. Received files are stored in the Files app and transmitted with end-to-end encryption over Wi-Fi, so no cloud is involved in the process.

To send files from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac or Android device, just select "Share" or tap the share icon for a file you want to transfer and choose "QuickDrop". If you don't see QuickDrop in the list, scroll right until you see "More", then choose "Edit" and enable the toggle for QuickDrop.

Other devices on the same network with QuickDrop installed and running will appear automatically. You can also open QuickDrop, tap a device and choose one or more files from the Files app, choose one or more photos and videos, or send the contents of your clipboard.

After that, you will see a notification on your other device, which allows you to accept or decline the file transfer. To receive files, you simply need to open the QuickDrop app.

You can also download the optional QuickDrop Android app for additional features. Transfer files without a shared Wi-Fi network and mark devices as trusted to automatically accept incoming transfers.

QuickDrop lets you send and receive files for free. Upgrade to QuickDrop+ for unrestricted transfer speeds and access to all current and future features. QuickDrop+ is available as a one-time purchase or a flexible subscription that you can cancel at any time.

### 1/5 — Greed

*2026-08-25*

After update, unable to send file quickly bcz this app need money to send file fast.

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2026-08-09*

J’ai beau cliquer sur absolument tout, j’ai beau tout essayer de paramétrer mon téléphone est bien reconnu par mon ordinateur, mais il m’est impossible d’envoyer le moindre fichier via ce système.. Alors soit je ne comprends absolument pas comment ça fonctionne, soit ça ne fonctionne juste absolument pas, mais le fait est qu’après deux bonnes heures toujours impossible de transférer quoi que ce soit d’un côté comme de l’autre

### 1/5 — Requires much more effort than should be necessary

*2026-08-07*

Does what it claims, but the interface is garbage and transferring files requires much more effort than should be necessary. I have no idea why people are rating this so highly.

### 1/5 — Paid App

*2026-07-25*

Why waste time by letting you fill out the profile and then say it is paid?

### 4/5 — Might be great, but…

*2026-07-20, version 4.3*

I don’t like any app that shows as free and then immediately asks for money. That’s not transparent, it’s fundamentally misleading, and therefore I don’t trust you.
For the record, you’re offered a three day trial for free as long as you sign up to pay.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-07-14, version 4.2*

Muy sencilla y practica de usar

### 1/5 — 결제까지 해서 사용중인데요 자꾸 오류가 나네요

*2026-07-13*

급한대로 결제해서 사용중인데 매번 오류나면 결제한 의미가 없겠죠?? 환불받고 싶습니다.

### 5/5 — Seems to work basically as Airdrop

*2026-07-11, version 4.2.1*

Have only used a few time but integrates into the top bar and can be added as a share extension so you can use it almost exactly like air drop. Real good.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work without paywall

*2026-07-05, version 4.2*

Sorry, but despite all the good reviews I guess something changed lately and I was unable to transfer my file without going through a paywall. Maybe it was because it is a large file, but then again that’s my only reason for getting this app…

### 1/5 — s

*2026-07-02*

After sending few photos it is asking for subscription .
