PairDrop for Android is an open-source Android client for the PairDrop/Snapdrop browser-based local file sharing service. It integrates with the Android share sheet so files can be sent quickly to nearby devices over WebRTC without cables or cloud accounts.

Use cases

• quickly transfer files from phone to pc over wifi
• airdrop-like file sharing between android and other devices
• share files from other android apps via the share sheet
• send files locally without usb or bluetooth
• use a self-hosted snapdrop or pairdrop instance on android

When to choose

• you want fast, cable-free local file transfer between android and any platform
• you prefer open-source, privacy-friendly sharing without accounts or cloud
• you use pairdrop.net or a self-hosted snapdrop instance regularly

When to avoid

• you need transfers over the internet rather than a local network
• you need an iOS client, since this is Android-only
• you require encrypted end-to-end transfer to arbitrary remote recipients
