Chat apps shrink your videos and cap file sizes. DropLink sends the original — any size — as a link. Pick a video, get a link instantly, and send it anywhere. The other person opens it in any browser and downloads the untouched original. No upload to wait for, no account, nothing for them to install. ----------------------------------------------------------- WHY IT'S FAST ----------------------------------------------------------- There's no upload step. The link is ready the moment you pick files, and the download streams straight from your device while DropLink is open. • Same Wi-Fi? It switches to a direct local connection — as fast as your router allows. • Different networks? It goes through our relay servers, closest one picked automatically. • Network hiccup? Downloads resume from where they stopped instead of starting over. ----------------------------------------------------------- ORIGINAL QUALITY, ANY SIZE ----------------------------------------------------------- • 4K videos, RAW photos, long recordings — sent byte-for-byte, never re-compressed • No file size limit and no storage quota • Download managers work too: multi-threaded and resumable ----------------------------------------------------------- NOTHING KEPT, NOTHING TO SIGN UP FOR ----------------------------------------------------------- • Files stay on your device. Our relay passes bytes through in memory and never writes them to disk. • Encrypted in transit with TLS • No account, no email, no phone number • No ads • Stop sharing and the link stops working ----------------------------------------------------------- GOOD TO KNOW ----------------------------------------------------------- Keep DropLink open until the download finishes — the files come straight from your device, so if the app is closed, the transfer pauses. DropLink shows live progress so you know when it's done. ----------------------------------------------------------- WHO CAN RECEIVE ----------------------------------------------------------- Anyone with a web browser — on a phone, tablet or computer. • Nothing to install, no account needed • Even a shared computer works — the receiver installs nothing ----------------------------------------------------------- SUPPORT ----------------------------------------------------------- Website: https://idroplink.com Privacy: https://idroplink.com/privacy.html Contact: zhushaolong@gmail.com Questions or a weird bug?

Verdict

The call

DropLink's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
