Move files straight from one device to another. No account, no upload, no waiting for a cloud to sync. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the files you want to send. LiberDrop gives you a six-digit code. 2. Enter that code on the receiving device. 3. The transfer starts on the sixth digit. NOTHING IS STORED ON A SERVER Files travel directly between the two devices over an encrypted peer-to-peer connection. The LiberDrop server only introduces the two ends to each other. It never receives your files, your file names, or their contents, and nothing is kept once the transfer ends. ANY DEVICE ON BOTH ENDS iPhone, iPad, Mac, and any modern browser at liberdrop.com. Send from a phone to a laptop, from a desk to a tablet, in either direction. The other end needs nothing installed. WHAT YOU CAN SEND Photos, videos, documents, archives, entire folders, and text from the clipboard. Queue several files at once and watch each one finish. DURING A TRANSFER - Live speed, time remaining, and per-file progress - Received photos and videos go into your photo library - Send straight from Photos, Files, or any app through the share sheet - Paste a code instead of typing six digits - Light and dark appearance Two devices, a six-digit code, and the bytes between them. Nothing else is involved.
