Filedrop for Mac

Fast local transfers with Filedrop

Filedrop makes moving files between computers on the same local network quick and painless. Designed for macOS, it removes the need to tweak routers or network settings — the app automatically finds other devices on your subnet so you don’t have to. To send a file, simply drag it into Filedrop’s window and drop it onto the target device.

How it operates

• Drag-and-drop interface for sending items instantly without menus or wizards.
• Automatic discovery of nearby machines so you avoid manual address entry or port forwarding.
• No per-computer setup required; connected devices are detected and listed immediately.
• Streamlined workflow that reduces the time and fuss involved in sharing documents with coworkers or friends.

Reasons to pick it
