About us

dropoff.lol is a small project with a simple goal: let anyone send a file to anyone else without accounts, without uploads, and without the cloud standing in the middle. Every transfer is a private, direct connection between two browsers, and when it is over, nothing is left behind.

It is built with React, TypeScript, and TanStack Start on top of WebRTC, and it runs entirely in your browser. We think file sharing should be as easy as pointing a friend at a page and pressing send, so that is exactly what we built.

There had to be another way

This wasn't the first time this had happened. Sending large files via email or with third party tools such as WhatsApp or Slack is impossible. It forces you to use yet another third party service with annoying limitations such as file size limits, speed limits, or required registration.

There's always a catch, and no matter which service you use, your files always end up stored somewhere on the internet on an unknown server.

Building a solution

It simply had to change, so we started working on a solution: dropoff.lol. With dropoff.lol nothing is ever stored online, you send your files directly from your computer or mobile phone, there's no file size limits or speed limits, and if you're on the same network your data doesn't even have to leave the building.

In our opinion: file transfer as it should be.

We are just getting started, and there is more to come. If you have feedback, a feature idea, or just want to say hello, email us at admin.dropoff@gmail.com.
