WinDrop

AirDrop for Windows. Zero config. Fully encrypted.

Seamless peer-to-peer file sharing over your local network. No setup, no accounts, no cloud — just drop and go.

How It Works

Three steps. That's it.

No installation wizards, no cloud accounts, no network configuration. WinDrop works the moment you launch it.

1

Discover

WinDrop automatically finds every device on your local network using mDNS — no IP addresses, no pairing codes, no setup.

Powered by Zeroconf DNS-SD

2

Drop

Drag and drop files or entire folders onto any device card. Multi-file transfers, progress tracking, and speed graphs — all built in.

Files & folders, any size

3

Done

Files arrive encrypted end-to-end with AES-256-GCM, verified with SHA-256 checksums. Tamper-proof, every time.

Integrity verified automatically

Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

A complete file transfer solution built for Windows, packed with features that just work.

Zero Configuration

Automatic device discovery via mDNS. Launch the app and every WinDrop device on your network appears instantly — no IPs, no pairing, no setup.

Military-Grade Encryption

Dual-layer security with TLS 1.2+ transport and AES-256-GCM application encryption. X25519 ECDH key exchange ensures forward secrecy for every transfer.

Drag & Drop

Intuitive file transfers — drag files or entire folders directly onto device cards. Multi-file support with 64 KB chunked streaming for maximum throughput.

Transfer Analytics

Built-in dashboard with real-time speed charts, file type breakdowns, cumulative data tracking, peak usage hours, and success/failure rates.

Network Diagnostics

Per-device latency testing, bandwidth measurement, connection quality scoring, and real-time throughput monitoring with upload/download graphs.

Windows Native

System tray integration, Windows 10/11 toast notifications, auto-start on login, dark/light themes, and single-instance enforcement.

Security

Enterprise-grade security. Zero hassle.

Four layers of cryptographic protection wrap every single file transfer — all automatic and all open source.

Trust Model

Trust-on-First-Use (TOFU) with SHA-256 fingerprint verification

Application Encryption

AES-256-GCM with random 12-byte nonce per chunk

Key Exchange

X25519 ECDH + HKDF-SHA256 session key derivation

Transport Layer

TLS 1.2+ with RSA 2048-bit certificates

Every chunk authenticated with GCM tags
