ShareDrop.org

ShareDrop.org transfers large files from one device to another the private way — directly, over an encrypted peer-to-peer link, with no account and nothing parked on a server. HOW IT WORKS • Open the app on both devices. One taps Send and picks files; the other scans the QR code (or types the short code). • Your files travel straight between the two devices over an encrypted WebRTC channel. • When a direct link isn't possible, an encrypted relay forwards the packets — it can't read them and keeps nothing. The app shows you which mode you're on, in real time. WHAT YOU CAN SEND • Photos and videos, straight from your photo library • Music, straight from your library • Any file — documents, audio, archives BUILT FOR PRIVACY • No account, no sign-up, no profile. • We don't store your files — there is no upload endpoint on our servers at all. • Session data expires on its own; there's nothing to look up after a transfer ends. • Your files are never collected and never used for advertising: file names, contents and checksums stay between your two devices and never reach us or anyone else. SHAREDROP PRO The free app is supported by ads. Pro removes them completely — a Pro device makes no ad requests at all, rather than just hiding them. Payment is charged to your App Store account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. WORKS WITH ANY DEVICE The other device doesn't need this app — any modern browser at app.sharedrop.org can send and receive. Move files from your iPhone to a laptop, a desktop, or another phone, without cables and without a cloud account. HONEST BY DESIGN We don't claim files "never touch a server" unconditionally. In relay mode, encrypted packets do pass through a relay — and the app tells you so. The same standard applies everywhere else: the free app shows ads, Pro removes them for real, and no claim on this page goes further than what the app actually does.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ShareDrop.org at none against Text Reader's 4. ShareDrop.org also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 20 months). Text Reader's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
