Big files. Sensible handling.
The Android transfer engine streams file data. Transfers depend on available storage, the source and the receiving device; no universal size or speed is promised.
Another way, when available.
Nearby sharing is an optional device-dependent route. If a compatible nearby sender is unavailable, use the browser sharing flow.
FAQ
What is DropLAN?
DropLAN is an Android file-sharing app designed for local transfers. Send selected files to nearby devices over a shared Wi-Fi or hotspot; the receiving device can use an existing browser.
Does offline file transfer need the internet?
The local file-transfer flow does not need internet access. Devices still need a reachable local network. Downloading the app, optional Google sign-in, purchases, policy pages and release analytics may use the internet.
Can I transfer files from Android to a PC or Mac?
Browser receiving is designed for Windows, macOS and Linux, as well as Android, iPhone and iPad browsers. Join the same reachable network, open the receiving link and download. Cross-device compatibility and large-file behavior still require testing on your devices.
Does the receiving device need to install DropLAN?
For shares sent from the Android app, browser receivers do not need an app or plugin. The computer-to-phone QR workflow on this website uses the local computer sender and the DropLAN Android app.
Can this website send files to a phone on another network?
No. The desktop sender in this website is for the same reachable local network. Files are prepared on the computer, not uploaded to a cloud storage service. Keep the computer and local sender running during the transfer.
Are folders and ZIP compression free?
In the Android app, basic file selection, multi-file transfers and existing transfer protocols are free. Adding whole folders and ZIP packing/compression are Pro features. Current offers and prices are shown by Google Play in the app.
Why does the phone fail to connect on the same Wi-Fi?
Check that neither device is using guest isolation or a VPN that blocks local traffic. Allow the local sender through your computer firewall on trusted private networks. If several network addresses appear, choose the one used by the shared Wi-Fi.
Is every device combination already verified?
Not all combinations. Real-device Wi-Fi reachability, large-file saving and compatibility across all target browsers are not fully verified. A completed sender response is not proof that the receiver saved the file.
