Dragit for Windows

Product overview

Dragit is a compact utility built to make file exchange between machines on the same local network quick and painless. It keeps things focused on a single job—moving files—so there’s no clutter from extra features or menus.

Supported systems

The app runs on both Windows and Linux, giving teams and mixed-environment users a simple way to move documents, photos, and other files across machines without compatibility headaches.

Installation and first use

No setup is required after installation: start the program and begin sharing. The minimal configuration approach gets users transferring files almost immediately, with no need to dig through settings.

Network and firewall handling

On Linux hosts Dragit can detect and adjust firewalld rules automatically to open the ports it needs, reducing connection errors and the need for manual firewall edits.

Core benefits

• Fast transfers with an uncomplicated workflow for everyday file sharing
• Lightweight, single-purpose design so the interface stays straightforward
• Cross-platform support so Windows and Linux machines can exchange files easily

Technologies behind Dragit

• mDNS (service discovery on the local network)
• libp2p (peer-to-peer networking primitives)
• GTK (graphical toolkit for the user interface)
• Drop-zone (drag-and-drop file handling)

Common use cases

• Sending a report or presentation to a coworker on another workstation
• Moving large media files between editing machines on the same subnet
• Quick exchanges of images or documents during meetings without email or cloud uploads

Quick-start tips

Install Dragit on each machine that will share files, open the app, then drag files into the target device’s receive area. If Linux hosts are involved, allow a moment for the firewall adjustments the first time.

Additional note

If you’re looking for legacy drivers, there are free alternative network adapter drivers available for older systems such as Windows Server 2003.
