ENGLISH: NearDrop is a fast, offline file transfer tool for iPhone. Create a room, turn on Personal Hotspot, and let nearby devices connect through a QR code - no internet and no cloud storage required. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a room on your iPhone 2. Turn on Personal Hotspot in Settings 3. Share the QR code with the sender 4. They connect via any modern browser or the NearDrop app on iPhone 5. Files transfer directly over your local hotspot network KEY FEATURES • Offline transfer — files never leave your local network • Browser access — senders can upload without installing an app • QR code connection — Wi‑Fi credentials and upload page in one scan • Chunked transfers — stable speed for large files • Room password — optional protection for your session • Transfer history — review past transfers on your device (free in v1.0) • Bilingual — English and Traditional Chinese BACKGROUND TRANSFERS Large transfers may continue briefly while the app is in the background or the screen is locked, but iOS limits background execution time. For very large files, keep NearDrop open in the foreground when possible. PRIVACY FIRST NearDrop does not require an account. Files are transferred device-to-device on your Personal Hotspot. We do not upload your files to our servers. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone with Personal Hotspot support • iOS 17 or later • Sender device must join the same hotspot (via QR scan or manual Wi‑Fi) • Camera permission for QR scanning (optional manual room code entry available) Note: iOS does not allow apps to turn on Personal Hotspot automatically. You will be guided to enable it manually in Settings—this is required by Apple and ensures App Store compliance. ``` 繁體中文 NearDrop 是專為 iPhone 設計的離線快速傳檔工具。創建房間、開啟個人熱點,讓附近裝置掃描 QR Code 即可連線——無需網路、檔案不經雲端。 使用方式 1. 在 iPhone 上創建房間 2. 至「設定」開啟個人熱點 3. 將 QR Code 出示給傳送方 4. 對方透過瀏覽器或 NearDrop App(iPhone)連線 5. 檔案在本地熱點網絡中直接傳輸 主要功能 • 離線傳輸 — 檔案僅在本地網絡傳送,不經雲端 • 跨平台 — 傳送方用瀏覽器即可,無需安裝 App • QR Code 連線 — 一次掃描完成 Wi‑Fi 連線與上傳頁面 • 大檔分塊傳輸 — 大檔案也能穩定傳送 • 房間密碼 — 可選的連線保護 • 傳輸歷史 — 在本機查看過往傳輸紀錄 • 雙語介面 — 繁體中文與 English 背景傳輸說明 大檔傳輸在 App 進入背景或鎖屏時可短暫繼續,但 iOS 對背景執行時間有限制。傳送超大檔案時,建議盡量保持 NearDrop 在前景開啟。 隱私優先 NearDrop 無需註冊帳號。檔案在個人熱點網絡中點對點傳輸,我們不會將您的檔案上傳至伺服器。 系統需求 • 支援個人熱點的 iPhone • iOS 17 或以上 • 傳送方需加入同一個熱點(掃 QR 或手動連 Wi‑Fi) • 掃描 QR 需相機權限(亦可改用手動輸入房間資訊) 說明:iOS 不允許第三方 App 自動開啟個人熱點。App 會引導您至「設定」手動開啟,此為 Apple 規範要求,確保 App Store 審核合規。
