Paired Devices and Public Rooms — Internet Transfer
- Transfer files over the Internet between paired devices or by entering temporary public rooms.
- Connect to devices in complex network environments (public Wi-Fi, company network, iCloud Private Relay, VPN, etc.).
- Connect to devices on your mobile hotspot.
- Devices outside of your local network that are behind a NAT are auto-connected via the PairDrop TURN server.
- Devices from the local network, in the same public room, or previously paired are shown.
Persistent Device Pairing
Always connect to known devices
- Pair devices via a 6-digit code or a QR-Code.
- Paired devices always find each other via shared secrets independently of their local network.
- Pairing is persistent. You find your devices even after reopening PairDrop.
- You can edit and unpair devices easily.
Temporary Public Rooms
Connect to others in complex network situations, or over the Internet.
- Enter a public room via a 5-letter code or a QR-code.
- Enter a public room to temporarily connect to devices outside your local network.
