# DropToPhone

DropToPhone is a browser-based file transfer platform for sending files between computers, phones and tablets. It is designed for users searching for an AirDrop-style way to send files from a laptop or desktop to a phone, from a phone back to a computer, or between tablets and computers.

Completed incoming files can be saved in bulk as one ZIP. On supported devices, received photos and videos can be passed to the native share sheet so users can choose Save Images, Save Video or Photos, and supported desktop browsers can save all received files into a selected folder.

## Core capabilities

- QR pairing: Open DropToPhone on a computer, scan the QR code with a phone or tablet, and start a private transfer session.
- Works both ways: Send files from computer to phone, phone to computer, tablet to laptop, or between modern browsers.
- No app install: The transfer workspace runs in the browser, so users do not need accounts, app stores or device-specific setup.
- Encrypted transport: File bytes use encrypted WebRTC DataChannels when the devices can establish a route.
- Progress and confirmation: Each file shows status, progress, verification and completion so both devices know what happened.
- Bulk saving: Download every received file as one ZIP, share received media to the photo workflow, or save files to a chosen folder when supported.
- Private by design: DropToPhone is built without a cloud file library; transfer history stays local to the browser.

## Use cases

- Computer to phone: Move photos, PDFs, videos, archives and work documents from a laptop or desktop to an iPhone, iPad or Android device.
- Phone to computer: Send camera files, downloads, screenshots and mobile documents back to a Windows, macOS, Linux or ChromeOS computer.
- Tablet workflows: Transfer files between tablets and computers without searching for cables, cloud folders or messaging apps.
- AirDrop-style sharing: Use a simple scan-and-send flow when AirDrop is unavailable, when devices use different platforms, or when a browser-based handoff is easier.
