What is PairDrop?
PairDrop lets you send files and text between devices, like AirDrop but for any platform. Open the site on two devices on the same network and they see each other instantly. Click a device to send a file.
Transfers are peer-to-peer over WebRTC, so files go directly between devices. You can also pair devices to use it across different networks. It is open source and based on Snapdrop.
