DropConnect
Share clipboard data instantly across devices via QR code.
DropConnect is the ultimate universal clipboard and file sharing tool. Securely sync text and links across all your devices instantly without installing an app.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Sunil, the maker of DropConnect. The Problem: I built DropConnect to solve a tiny but incredibly frustrating problem I face every day: moving a quick link, a snippet of code, or a file from my phone to my PC (or vice versa). I was tired of emailing myself, sending messages to a private Slack channel, or relying on ecosystem-locked tools like AirDrop that don't work across Windows/Android/iOS. The Solution: DropConnect is a truly universal clipboard. It runs completely in the browser. You just open the app, scan a QR code to connect your devices to the same room, and you can instantly pass text, URLs, and files back and forth in real-time using Socket.io.
Why check it out? No installation required (just a web link) Cross-platform (works on literally anything with a browser) It is entirely Open Source!
I'd love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or any questions you might have about how it was built. Let me know what you think! 🚀
How does the sync actually work without an app installed, is it browser-based and do you support end-to-end encryption for the text and files?
How does this stay secure without an app install, like is everything going through your own servers or is there some kind of end to end encryption setup happening in the browser?
Love that it works straight from the browser without forcing an install, that little detail alone removes so much friction for quick clipboard syncs between my phone and laptop.
