About this app

Snapdrop & PairDrop for Android is an Androidā„¢ client for the free and open source local file sharing solutions https://snapdrop.net/ and https://pairdrop.net/.

Do you also sometimes have the problem that you just need to quickly transfer a file from your phone to the PC?

USB? - Old fashioned!
Bluetooth? - Much too cumbersome and slow!
E-mail? - Please not another email I write to myself!

Snapdrop!

Snapdrop is a local file sharing solution which completely works in your browser. A bit like Apple's Airdrop, but not only for Apple devices. Windows, Linux, Android, IPhone, Mac - no problem at all!

However, even if it theoretically would fully work in your browser, you will love this app if you want to use Snapdrop more often in your daily life. Thanks to perfect integration into the Android operating system, files are sent even faster. Directly from within other apps you can select Snapdrop to share with.

Thanks to its radical simplicity, "Snapdrop for Android" makes the everyday life of hundreds of users easier. As an open source project we don't have any commercial interests but want to make the world a little bit better. Join and convince yourself!

PRIVACY:
This app interacts with https://snapdrop.net/ to be able to discover other devices running Snapdrop in your local network. However, none of your files is ever sent to any server but are transferred directly peer-to-peer between your devices.

CREDIT:
The app and its icon are based on the Snapdrop Open Source project, which is hosted and maintained by RobinLinus. See also https://www.github.com/robinlinus/snapdrop

Great when it works, so far only 30% of the time! Servers often too busy! Don't beg us to not give bad reviews. If your app frequently doesn't work you get a bad review! Regardless of whether your app is ad supported or free it should work consistently! If I had paid for this I'd be trying to get a refund by now! I have found a wifi transfer app that transfers from one device to another on the same wifi address. Doesn't require separate severs. No, not willing to give Snapdrop another try!

Hi, we are really sorry about this and we understand this can be frustrating. We have released a new version meanwhile which fixes these problems... Do you want to try it again :)

This app used to be amazing, sharing files between devices was really easy. But all the new pairing and extra layers mean it rarely works now. Pity, buts it's an example of "not broken, so don't fix" not being followed.

Awesome app when it works; I use it on my S22, PCs and MacBooks. Lately I had been having issues with nearby device detection as well as the app hanging on the mobile side. Setting up permanent device pairings resolved my issues though.
