DropBeam: Photo File Transfer
Phone to computer over Wi-Fi
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Move photos, videos and files from any phone to your Mac. Scan a QR code, done. No phone app, no cloud, no size limits. Free and unlimited.
Move photos, videos, and files from any phone to your computer over your own Wi-Fi. Free and unlimited: no app to install on the phone, no account, no cloud, no subscription, and no size caps.
Google has discontinued its official tool for moving files from a phone to a computer, and the options that remain are capped, slow, or quietly recompress your videos. DropBeam fills that gap with something simpler.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Click Start Receiving. DropBeam shows a QR code.
2. Scan it with the phone's camera. A page opens in the phone's browser.
3. Pick your files. They land straight in the folder you chose.
That is the whole flow. It works from Android and iPhone alike, and from any device with a browser on your network.
FREE, UNLIMITED, FOREVER
- Unlimited transfers of any file type, with no size limit. Send a 4 GB video
without it being shrunk or split.
- Nothing to install on the phone. The browser it already has is enough.
- New in 1.1: DropBeam lives in the menu bar, so the receiver is one click away.
- New in 1.1: beam text and links from the phone straight to your clipboard.
- Access code security, so only your devices can connect.
DROPBEAM PRO, ONE-TIME PURCHASE
Pay once. Yours forever. No subscription.
- Rename on save: name files by the date the photo was taken, or the date received, plus your own label.
- New in 1.1: convert HEIC photos to universal JPEG as they arrive, with dates, orientation, and other metadata preserved.
- New in 1.1: skip duplicates. Files you already have are recognized and not saved twice.
- Remove location: strip GPS data from photos as they are saved.
- True file dates: set each saved file's date to the day the photo was taken.
- Send files from the computer back to the phone.
Try every Pro feature free on your first 10 files.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Files travel directly between your devices over your own Wi-Fi. DropBeam has no servers and no accounts, and it collects no data. When a transfer finishes, your files exist in exactly two places: the phone and your computer.
