Welcome to NowDrop: The Future of File Sharing

NowDrop Team

Welcome to NowDrop

File sharing is broken. If you've ever tried to send a 4K video from an iPhone to a Windows PC, you know exactly what we mean. You're forced to use slow cloud services, email attachments with tiny size limits, or clunky USB cables.

We decided to fix this.

Enter NowDrop

NowDrop uses the power of WebRTC to create a direct, peer-to-peer connection between your devices. Your files never touch a cloud server. They go straight from your phone to your computer over your local Wi-Fi, at maximum speed.

Why NowDrop is Different

  1. No Cloud Servers: Your files are completely private. They are transferred using end-to-end encryption.
  2. Infinite File Sizes: Because we stream the data directly between devices in tiny chunks, you can transfer 100GB files without crashing your browser.
  3. Cross-Platform by Default: It runs perfectly in Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox. If it has a browser, it can use NowDrop.
  4. No Accounts Required: Just scan a QR code and start sending.

Built for Speed

We utilized an advanced technique called Backpressure Management. This ensures that if you're sending files from a blazing-fast MacBook to an older Android phone, the MacBook will dynamically slow down the transfer rate so the Android phone doesn't get overwhelmed and crash.
