List view
Paired Devices and Public Rooms — Internet Transfer
- Transfer files over the Internet between paired devices or by entering temporary public rooms.
- Connect to devices in complex network environments (public Wi-Fi, company network, iCloud Private Relay, VPN, etc.).
- Connect to devices on your mobile hotspot.
- Devices outside of your local network that are behind a NAT are auto-connected via the PairDrop TURN server.
- Connect to devices on your mobile hotspot.
- Devices from the local network, in the same public room, or previously paired are shown.
Persistent Device Pairing
Always connect to known devices
- Pair devices via a 6-digit code or a QR-Code.
- Paired devices always find each other via shared secrets independently of their local network.
- Pairing is persistent. You find your devices even after reopening PairDrop.
- You can edit and unpair devices easily.
Temporary Public Rooms
Connect to others in complex network situations, or over the Internet.
- Enter a public room via a 5-letter code or a QR-code.
- Enter a public room to temporarily connect to devices outside your local network.
- All devices in the same public room see each other.
- Public rooms are temporary. Closing PairDrop leaves all rooms.
Improved UI for Sending/Receiving Files
- Files are transferred after a request is accepted. Files are auto-downloaded upon completing a transfer, if possible.
- Multiple files are downloaded as a ZIP file
- Download, share or save to gallery via the "Share" menu on Android and iOS.
- Multiple files are transferred at once with an overall progress indicator.
Send Files or Text Directly From Share Menu, Context Menu or CLI
- Send files directly from context menu on Ubuntu (using Nautilus)
- Send files directly from the context menu on Windows
- Send directly from the "Share" menu on iOS
- Send directly from the "Share" menu on Android
- Send directly via the command-line interface
