Droppp is a simple local file transfer app for iPhone and iPad that works over Wi-Fi and Personal Hotspot. Use Droppp when AirDrop is not available, cable transfer is inconvenient, or you do not want to upload files to the cloud. Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network, or connect the other device to your iPhone or iPad’s Personal Hotspot. Transfer files through a browser without installing any extra desktop program. Turn on the local file drop server in Droppp, then open the displayed address in a browser on another device. You can also scan the QR code or change the server port. Keep Droppp open with your device’s screen on during transfers. Drag and drop or choose photos, videos, documents, ZIP files, and more on the web page. Received files are saved locally inside Droppp and can be viewed, shared, deleted, or moved to other apps. Select multiple files and drag them to apps that support drag and drop. Folders make it easier to organize incoming files. Create named folders and nested folders, then drag files or folders where they belong.
