AirDrop, but for everyone
The AirDrop alternative for Android & Windows
AirDrop only works between Apple devices. If one side is Windows, Android, or Linux, it never has. QuickBridge connects any two devices through the browser: open the site on both, scan a QR code, and the file moves in seconds without touching any server.
Free forever · No sign-up · Encrypted end-to-end
Why "just AirDrop it" doesn't work for most people
AirDrop is great if you live entirely inside Apple's ecosystem. The moment you mix an Android phone with a Windows laptop, or try to get a file from your iPhone to your PC at work, you are back to the familiar bad options:
- Your phone is Android or your computer is Windows, so AirDrop has never worked for this transfer
- Sending from iPhone to PC means a USB cable hunt or emailing the file to yourself first
- Uploading to iCloud or Google Drive on one side and downloading again on the other
- Installing a third-party transfer app that wants your contacts, location, and a subscription
QuickBridge: AirDrop for any phone, any computer
QuickBridge is a browser-based, peer-to-peer file transfer tool. Open the site on both devices, scan a QR code, and start sending. Files stream directly from one browser to the other over an encrypted channel, with no upload step, no server-side copy, no waiting for sync.
Step 01
Open on your phone
Open quickbridge.app in your phone's browser. On Android, Chrome. On iPhone, Safari. Both work the same way.
Step 02
Scan the QR code
Point your camera at the QR shown on your computer screen. A banner appears, tap it, and the transfer page opens in your phone browser.
Step 03
Send anything
Drag a file onto the browser, pick from your gallery, or paste text. It streams to the other device immediately.
Android phone: open the site and point the camera at your computer's QR
Windows PC: paired with the phone, files streaming directly
How QuickBridge compares to other AirDrop alternatives
There are plenty of cross-platform sharing tools. Most of them ask you to install something, sign up for something, or stay on the same Wi-Fi. Here is the honest comparison:
| QuickBridge | AirDrop | Snapdrop | SHAREit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Works on Android & Windows | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
| No app install required | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Works across different networks | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| End-to-end encrypted | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| No sign-up, no ads | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Send up to 10 GB per file (with receiver auto-save) | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Open-source signaling, no tracking | Yes | No | Yes | No |
Why people pick QuickBridge over AirDrop
Truly cross-platform
Android to Windows, iPhone to Linux, Mac to Chromebook. Any combination, any browser, no exceptions.
Works across networks
Same Wi-Fi for max speed, or different networks entirely. No 'devices not found' errors, no Bluetooth required.
End-to-end encrypted
Files travel over a WebRTC channel secured with DTLS, the same standard used by browser video calls. Nothing in between reads them.
No server-side copy
Files never land on a QuickBridge server. The signaling layer only brokers the initial handshake, then steps aside.
Instant - no upload step
Streaming starts the moment you drop the file. No 'preparing your transfer' spinner, no upload progress bar before it even starts.
Installable as a PWA
Add QuickBridge to your home screen for one-tap access. Optional, never required.
