BeamDrop
Send files of any size, device to device.
Open BeamDrop on both devices and the file streams straight from one browser to the other. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no size limit and nothing is stored.
Big files get stuck in the middle.
Most transfer sites upload your file to a server first, then make the other device download it. That is where size caps, waiting and storage limits come from. BeamDrop skips the server, so a 10 GB video goes from laptop to phone without a cable, an app or an account.
How it works
3 steps from first use to result.
- 1
Pick a file
Open BeamDrop on the sending device, choose the file and get a six-character code.
- 2
Join from the other device
Open BeamDrop there, enter the code or scan the QR code, and tap Accept.
- 3
It streams across
The file travels in small pieces straight between the two browsers and is saved as it arrives.
What you get
- No size limit
- Nothing passes through a server, so the only limit is free space on the receiving device.
- Never uploaded
- Files go device to device over an encrypted connection. The server only introduces the two browsers.
- No app or account
- Works in current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on computers and phones.
- Code or QR
- Join with a six-character code or by scanning a QR code. Each code works for one device.
- Receiver says yes first
- Nothing is sent until the receiving device accepts the file.
- Saves as it arrives
- Large files stream to disk instead of filling the browser's memory.

Questions
BeamDrop does not set one, because the file is never uploaded. The practical limits are free storage on the receiving device and how long you keep both devices open.
