    ShareDrop is an HTML5 clone of the Apple AirDrop service. It allows you to transfer files directly between devices, without having to upload them to any server first. It uses WebRTC for secure peer-to-peer file transfer and Firebase for presence management and WebRTC signaling.

    Comments about ShareDrop as an Alternative to Snapdrop

    I like ShareDrop rather than Snapdrop because Snapdrop's servers have been off and on and because Sharedrop does not require both users to be on the same network.

    Simple, private file sharing

    Wormhole lets you share files up to 10GB with end-to-end encryption and a link that automatically expires. So you can keep what you share private and make sure your stuff doesn't stay online forever.
