ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DiskOnPhone Wireless Disk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: File Transfer Secure Drop has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of DiskOnPhone Wireless Disk's written reviews are positive against 82% of File Transfer Secure Drop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DiskOnPhone Wireless Disk ships an update monthly, File Transfer Secure Drop every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 27, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
