Question 1

Is there a file size limit?

Accepted Answer

No. Because files are streamed directly between devices peer-to-peer, we don't store them on our servers, so there are absolutely no file size limits. You can send a 1MB photo or a 50GB video file.

Question 2

How is this different from Google Drive or WeTransfer?

Accepted Answer

Traditional services require you to upload the file to their server first, and then the recipient downloads it from their server. FileDrop connects your device directly to the recipient's device. The file streams directly from you to them.

Question 3

Is the transfer secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The WebRTC connection uses DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) and SRTP (Secure Real-time Transport Protocol). Your files are heavily encrypted end-to-end.
