DropLink lets you send files directly from one device to another — with no cloud, no server, and no file size limit. Your files never leave the direct connection between you and the other person. Think of it like handing a USB drive to someone, but over the internet.
DropLink uses WebRTC, built into every modern browser. Instead of uploading files to a server, it creates a direct encrypted tunnel between two browsers. There are two ways to connect:
Both people type the same secret room code. A tiny handshake server helps them find each other, then steps aside.
same room code
connects them
established
peer to peer!
One person creates an invite code and sends it to the other (via chat, email, etc). The other person pastes it and sends back a reply code. No server needed at all.

via chat / email
& sends back reply
established!
In both methods, the handshake only helps browsers find each other — like a matchmaker introducing two people. Once the direct tunnel is established, the matchmaker steps away and never sees your files.
Yes — here's why:
It's extremely unlikely. Here's the breakdown:
The room code is not a password — it just helps two devices find each other. Use a unique code and share it privately so a stranger doesn't join instead.
The invite code itself is not secret data — it only contains network information (like IP addresses) to help the two devices find each other. However, you should still share it through a trusted channel (like a private chat) so that a stranger doesn't use it to connect to you instead of your intended peer.
Bottom line: As long as you share the room code/invite code with the right person, your file transfer is private, encrypted, and direct. No third party — not even DropLink — can see what you're sending.
Enter the same room code on both devices — they'll find each other automatically. Works across any network.
For advanced users. Manually exchange connection codes by copy-pasting.
Once the sender pastes your answer, you'll be connected automatically.
