Filedrop

Filedrop has been created to facilitate file sharing between devices on the same network. It aims at making file transfer easier between a mobile device and a computer and vice-versa.

The desktop application needs to be installed and the entire process is extremely simple as it just requires you to follow the instructions on the screen. There aren’t any attempts to push third party software on the system.

Looks are not what the developer focused on as functionality of the product is more important than aesthetics.

If the product is launched on both devices it should signal their availability after a brief scanning. The interface is minimalist and at a first glance it just shows the available devices by displaying the desktop background image and the name of the device.

However, it also offers brief configuration options that consist in defining a different download folder and emptying the list of downloaded items.

Initiating a transfer from any device is an effortless action that requires you to drag and drop the data in the application window.

After the receiver accepts the incoming transfer its progress is shown in percentage and the list of files allows easy browsing through all the data received.

Filedrop can be used with any computer hooked to the local area network and discovering the peers is a quick process that is carried out almost instantly.

Filedrop is one of the simplest solutions for transferring files between different devices in the local network. The operation is fast and a history list of downloaded data is available, allowing easy access to any of them.
