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?

DeviceBeat brings your device activity into one clear dashboard, with native layouts for iPhone and iPad. MONITOR YOUR DEVICE • CPU activity and processor information • Memory usage and available storage • Network traffic, connection details and optional latency checks • Battery level, charging state, thermal state and Low Power Mode • Local history, trends and configurable alerts KEEP KEY READINGS CLOSE Add small, medium or large Home Screen widgets. Customize a compact monitoring panel and use the floating window to follow device activity while working in another app. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, advertising or analytics SDKs. Measurements and history stay on your device. The optional network latency probe is off by default; when enabled, it opens a TCP connection to captive.apple.com without uploading measurements. Available readings depend on the device and iOS permissions. Detailed process lists, battery health and cycle count, fan speeds and hardware temperature sensors are not exposed on iOS. Unavailable readings are explicitly marked. Widget refresh timing is controlled by iOS.
