Does it work on phone and tablet?

Yes. p2pdrop.net is a progressive web app for phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop browsers.

Do I need an account?

No. Host gets a code; guest enters it.

Is p2pdrop.net an AirDrop alternative?

It is a browser-based same-Wi‑Fi file handoff that works across phone brands and desktops, not only Apple devices. File bytes go peer-to-peer with WebRTC.

p2pdrop.net: Send files on the same Wi‑Fi

Free peer-to-peer file transfer for phone, tablet, and laptop. Host creates a code, guest joins, then drop files browser-to-browser. No accounts. No cloud upload of file contents. Enable JavaScript to use the interactive app at https://p2pdrop.net/.

Same Wi‑Fi file transfer without a cable

Send photos, PDFs, videos, and work files from phone to laptop or laptop to phone on the same network. WebRTC carries file bytes between browsers. A signaling service only helps devices find each other.
