🎨🔀 Differences to the Snapdrop it is based on

👀｜View all differences

📶 Paired Devices and Public Rooms — Internet Transfer

• Transfer files over the Internet between paired devices or by entering temporary public rooms.
• Connect to devices in complex network environments (public Wi-Fi, company network, iCloud Private Relay, VPN, etc.).
• Connect to devices on your mobile hotspot.
• Devices outside of your local network that are behind a NAT are auto-connected via the ErikrafT Drop TURN server.
• Devices from the local network, in the same public room, or previously paired are shown.

🔐 Persistent Device Pairing

Always connect to known devices

• Pair devices via a 6-digit code or a QR-Code.
• Paired devices always find each other via shared secrets independently of their local network.
• Pairing is persistent. You find your devices even after reopening ErikrafT Drop.
• You can edit and unpair devices easily.

🌎 Temporary Public Rooms

Connect to others in complex network situations, or over the Internet.

• Enter a public room via a 5-letter code or a QR-code.
• Enter a public room to temporarily connect to devices outside your local network.
• All devices in the same public room see each other.
• Public rooms are temporary. Closing ErikrafT Drop leaves all rooms.

✨ Improved UI for Sending/Receiving Files

• Files are transferred after a request is accepted. Files are auto-downloaded upon completing a transfer, if possible.
• Multiple files are downloaded as a ZIP file
• Download, share or save to gallery via the "Share" menu on Android and iOS.
• Multiple files are transferred at once with an overall progress indicator.
