[PairDrop](https://pairdrop.net) is a sublime alternative to AirDrop that works on all platforms.
It uses peer to peer connection in the same local network/Wi-Fi 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.

### Device Pairing
* Pair devices via 6-digit code or QR-Code
* Pair devices outside your local network or in complex network environment (public wifi, company network, Apple Private Relay, VPN etc.).
* Pair devices outside your local network or in complex network environment (public Wi-Fi, company network, Apple Private Relay, VPN etc.).
* Connect to devices on your mobile hotspot.
* Paired devices will always find each other via shared secrets even after reopening the browser or the Progressive Web App
* You will always discover devices on your local network. Paired devices are shown additionally.
* Paired devices outside your local network that are behind a NAT are connected automatically via [Open Relay: Free WebRTC TURN Server](https://www.metered.ca/tools/openrelay/)
### [Improved UI for sending/receiving files](https://github.com/RobinLinus/snapdrop/issues/560)
* The receiving peer must accept the request of files **before** they are transferred and downloaded automatically afterwords if possible
* Files are transferred only after a request is accepted first. On transfer completion they are downloaded automatically if possible.
* Multiple files are downloaded as ZIP file
* On iOS and Android the devices share menu is opened instead of downloading the files
* Multiple files are transferred at one archive which shows the overall progress correctly
* Multiple files are transferred at once with an overall progress indicator
* The integrity of the files is checked on receive
* By zipping the files before sending, all metadata is preserved
* All metadata is preserved
