Flying Carpet is a cross-platform file transfer application that works like AirDrop between Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows devices. It transfers files over ad hoc WiFi (one device acting as a hotspot) or a shared network, requiring no internet connection or network infrastructure.

Use cases

• transfer files between android and iphone without internet
• airdrop alternative for windows and linux
• send large files between devices without a flash drive
• move files over 2GB between different filesystems
• share files between phone and desktop with no wifi network
• transfer files offline between nearby devices

When to choose

• you need to move files between devices on different platforms with no network or internet available
• you want an open-source AirDrop-like tool that works across Android, iOS, and desktops
• you need to transfer files larger than typical flash drive or filesystem limits without setting up a network share

When to avoid

• you need to transfer files over the internet or to remote devices
• you require integration with native AirDrop or Nearby Share protocols
• you need to sync folders continuously rather than send one-off files
