Snapdrop

Overview

Snapdrop is a file sharing platform that has been around since 2015. It allows transferring files between any two devices, regardless of the operating system (including Apple products). All that is needed is that both devices are on the same network.

Snapdrops are great for most files, but large files may not work very well. You also need a good WiFi network to send data successfully.

Another good feature of Snapdrop is that it has nothing to install. You can add an icon to your phone's home screen and bookmark the web page on your PC for easy access to the platform

Sending Files

1. To send a file on Snapdrop, open a browser window and connect to www.snapdrop.net. Do this on both devices you will use.

2. Do this on PC and mobile phone.

3. When both devices are connected, an icon for the other device will appear on the screen.

4. To send the file, click the icon representing the device you want to send data.

5. Select the type of file you want to send. To send a file, click on My files or similar option and click on the file you want to send. Select the camera to take a picture and the Snapdrop will immediately send it to another device. You can do the same with the video.

6. Accept the file transfer on the other device.
