How secure is DropLink for sharing files?

DropLink is designed with security in mind. Since files are only shared within your local network and never pass through external servers, your data remains private. The app creates temporary servers that are automatically shut down after transfers are completed.

Do both devices need to have DropLink installed?

No, only the sending device needs to have DropLink installed. The receiving device can be any device with a browser, making it extremely versatile. The sender generates either a QR code or sends a link via Bluetooth that opens in the receiver's browser.

Does DropLink work on all operating systems?

DropLink is currently available for macOS. However, files can be received on any device with a browser, including Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android devices. We're working on expanding native app support to more platforms in the future.
