Pairdop is an open source, browser based, peer to peer file sharing application.

It is cool because it can find other devices on the network. So you open up pairdrop on one computer, and you open pairdop on another, and then you can see the devices and chat with eachother.

But, you also have the options of:

  • Creating a temporary public room for sharing files over the network to another device
  • Permanently pairing devices so that they can access eachother after you close the app

In addition to that, it's a progressive web application, so you can "install", and/or the web page does not need internet to load, firefox will cache it and let you use the app even if you don't have internet.

There is a publicly hosted instance you can try: https://pairdrop.net/
