Leave a file exactly where it's needed. DropNear turns any real-world spot into a place to hand off files. Drop a file on the map — a meeting room, a lecture hall, a trade-show booth — and anyone standing inside the zone can grab it. No email threads, no shared links, no accounts. They just have to be there. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a file (or several) and tap a spot on the map. 2. Set the radius, an expiry, and an optional download limit. 3. Share it — people nearby see it under "Drops near you," or scan the QR / type the 6-character code. WHY DROPNEAR • Presence is the password. Being in the right place is what unlocks the file. • Zero friction for receivers — no app required. Anyone can grab a drop from the web with a code. • Built for real moments: seminars, classrooms, workshops, conferences, offices, meetups, pop-ups. FEATURES • Drop one file or a whole bundle (up to 10) • QR + short unlock code for indoors — works even when GPS is weak • Adjustable radius, from a single room to a whole venue • Auto-expiry — drops clean themselves up • Download limits, including burn-after-reading • Optional PIN for private drops • Works indoors — the code unlocks a drop even where GPS is weak • Manage and revoke your drops anytime • No account needed to send or receive PERFECT FOR • Speakers handing slides to a room • Teachers sharing materials with a class • Organizers dropping maps, schedules and forms at the venue • Teams passing files across a meeting room PRIVACY Your location is only used to find drops around you — never tracked or sold. Files are stored temporarily and deleted on expiry or once their download limit is reached. Drop a file. Walk away. Whoever's there gets it.
