PairDrop is a sublime alternative to AirDrop that works on all platforms. It uses peer to peer connection in the same local network/wifi or with paired devices to send images, documents or text. As it is web based, it runs on all devices including Android, Linux and Windows.

You want to quickly send a file from your iPhone to your Windows Laptop?

You want to share photos in original quality with friends that use Android?

You want to share private files peer to peer between Linux systems?

AirDrop is unreliable again?
