No cables, no cloud uploads. Just sign in with your Google or Apple account, connect to the ChatDrop Chrome extension or web app, and start sharing files instantly.
Your files are shared using WebRTC technology — in most cases directly between your devices, peer-to-peer. When a direct connection isn't possible, files are relayed through a secure TURN server but are never stored.
📁 WHAT CAN YOU TRANSFER?
Send any file type between your phone and computer — photos, videos, documents, PDFs, music, APKs, zip archives, and more. Share one file or multiple files at once.
⚡ HOW IT WORKS

Open ChatDrop on your phone
Open the ChatDrop Chrome extension or visit chatdrop.me on your computer
Log in with the same Apple or Google account on both devices and share files in either direction

No USB cables. No email attachments. No uploading to Google Drive just to download on another device. Just wireless file transfer between phone and PC.
🔒 PRIVATE & SECURE
ChatDrop doesn't store your files on any server. Files are transferred using encrypted WebRTC connections — directly between devices whenever possible, or relayed through a secure server when needed. Nothing is saved after the transfer.

Encrypted WebRTC connections — peer-to-peer when possible
Files are never stored on any server
Sign in with your existing Apple or Google account — no separate registration
No data collection beyond basic crash analytics

🌐 CHROME EXTENSION & WEB APP
ChatDrop works seamlessly with the ChatDrop Chrome browser extension. Install it on your laptop or desktop for one-click file sharing. You can also use chatdrop.me — no extension required. Works on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.
