About InstaDrop
Fast, direct, and completely private.
What is InstaDrop?
InstaDrop is a simple web app to send files and text between your devices. Instead of uploading your data to a cloud, it connects your devices directly to each other. This makes transfers fast and highly secure.
Privacy & Safety
Your data belongs to you. Here is exactly how we keep it safe:
Files are never stored: When you send a file, it travels directly from one device to the other. It never touches our servers. We cannot see, copy, or keep your files.
Text auto-deletes: Any text you share is temporarily held so the other device can receive it. By default, it is completely deleted from our database after 1 hour. You can extend this, but it is always erased forever when the time runs out.
No tracking: We do not monitor your connections, read your shared text, or keep logs of what you do.
