## Description

**QuickDrop** makes it easy to share photos, videos, text, and other files between Android phones and iPhone, iPad, or Mac devices on the same Wi-Fi network. Transfers use end-to-end encryption over Wi-Fi without cloud storage, while received files are saved directly to the Files app.

Send content through the standard Share menu, select files or photos within QuickDrop, or transfer clipboard contents. Nearby devices appear automatically, and recipients can accept or decline transfers. An optional Android app adds transfers without shared Wi-Fi and trusted-device features. Free transfers are available, with QuickDrop+ offering unrestricted speeds and additional current and future features.

## Review summary

QuickDrop is praised for speed, ease of setup, and a familiar AirDrop-like cross-platform experience between Android and Mac, with smooth Quick Share transfers. Many users report reliable, straightforward transfers. However, the app is widely criticized for its pricing model: basic transfers require payment, with claims of bait-and-switch and unclear upfront pricing. Free usage is often limited (two files or a short trial). Overall sentiment is mixed: strong performance and usability are contrasted by controversial, paywall-driven access.

### Pros

- Easy setup and immediate connection
- User-friendly interface
- AirDrop-like cross-platform transfer between Android and Mac

### Cons

- Paywall and subscription required to access basic file transfer functionality
- Pricing is unclear up front and described as a bait-and-switch by some users
- Free usage is limited (e.g., only two files or a short trial) before payment
