WeScanDrop

Send anything, device to device

Like AirDrop —for every device

Scan one QR code and move files up to 3 GB both ways — phone to computer, computer to phone. No cables, no account, nothing to install.

  • No sign-up
  • No Bluetooth
  • Gone in 24h
Three steps

How it works

No app to install, no account to create. Open a page and you're moving files.

  1. 01

    Open & scan

    Open the site on one device — a QR appears. Scan it with the other device's camera, or open the link.

  2. 02

    You're linked

    Both devices now share one private, encrypted channel. No account, no password, no app to install.

  3. 03

    Drop & it's there

    Send files up to 3 GB either way — they arrive in real time. Everything self-deletes after 24 hours.

Compared, honestly

The one that moves files between any two devices

AirDrop is Apple-only. Quick Share skips the iPhone. Emailing yourself chokes on anything big. Here's the honest comparison — including where they beat us.

Fair's fair: between two Apple devices side by side, AirDrop is faster — it copies straight across with no upload. Drop is for every other case — a different brand, a different network, or just a browser with nothing installed.

For musicians, editors & photographers

Send the whole recording — not the version WhatsApp crushed

Move a two-hour take off your phone, a set of RAW photos, a finished 4K export — up to 3 GB, exactly as you recorded it. Nothing re-compressed, nothing downscaled.

  • WhatsApp re-compresses audio and photos — Drop keeps the original file.
  • Email stops around 25 MB — Drop goes all the way to 3 GB.
  • AirDrop won't go Android to Windows — Drop does.
Here, then gone

It disappears in 24 hours. That's the point.

Unlike a cloud drive or a shared link that sits there forever, every drop hard-deletes itself — files and all — 24 hours after it's sent. Nothing lingers, nothing builds a profile of you. Need it gone sooner? Delete it yourself in one tap.

The QR is a key, not your file

For business

Collect files from customers with one QR on the counter.

Put a Business Inbox QR at your counter, on an invoice, or in an email. Every customer who scans gets their own private thread — they send you full-quality photos and files, and they never see each other.

  • One QR, every customer
  • Private by design — senders never see each other
  • Full quality — no chat-app compression

Questions

Questions, answered

+Is WeScanDrop really free? What's the catch?

Yes. Transfers up to 3 GB per file between your devices are free, with no sign-up and no ads. There's no catch — files self-delete after 24 hours, which is also what keeps it private and cheap to run. Pro exists for people who need bigger files or longer retention, but the core loop is free forever.

+Do I need an account or an app?

No. Drop runs in the browser on both devices. Open the site on one device, scan the QR with the other, and you're transferring. There are optional desktop and mobile apps, but nothing is required and you never create an account or password.

+How does the QR pairing stay secure?

The QR code contains nothing but a long, random, unguessable session link — not your files. Only a device holding that exact link can join the session, the pairing token expires within minutes, and we never log the full link. Think of it as a one-time key that opens a private channel between just your two devices.

+Are my files encrypted?

Yes. Everything travels over TLS 1.3 (encrypted in transit) and is stored encrypted at rest with AES-256. Download links are short-lived and signed, so the underlying storage location is never exposed.

+Where do my files sit, and who can access them?

Files are held briefly in encrypted object storage, reachable only through your session's unguessable link. Database access is deny-by-default: one session can never see another session's data. We do not open, preview, scan for advertising, or train AI on anything you transfer — ever.

+Does the other person have to be online at the same time as me?

No — and this is a real advantage over peer-to-peer tools. With DropMail and Teams your transfer is held safely for you (up to 48 hours for DropMail, 24 hours for a Team), so the other side can pick it up whenever they open the link. Classic P2P tools like AirDrop, PairDrop or ShareDrop require both devices online, awake, and connected at the exact same moment.
