Description
With QuickDrop, you can seamlessly send and receive photos, videos, text files, and more between your Android phone and your Mac using Google Quick Share. Quick Share is built into most recent Android devices, therefore, no additional app is required on your phone - it's that simple. Received files will be stored in your Mac's Downloads folder, and are transmitted end-to-end encrypted over Wi-Fi - so no Cloud is involved in the process.
When QuickDrop is running, it will appear in the menu bar at the top of your screen. Click the QuickDrop icon if you would like to stop receiving files. To send files from your Android device to your Mac, just select "Share" or tap the share icon for a file you want to transfer to your Android device, and select "Quick Share". Your Mac will be listed as an available device.
After that, you will see a notification on your Mac. Hover over the notification to accept or decline the file transfer. Please note that your Android device and your Mac need to be on the same network to transfer files.
QuickDrop also allows you to send files from your Mac to your Android device. For any file, click on the Share icon or right-click on the file and select "Share". Afterward, select "QuickDrop" from the list of apps and follow the instructions. If you don't see QuickDrop in the list, click on "Edit Extensions", scroll down, and enable the toggle for QuickDrop.
QuickDrop is completely free to use for sending files from your Mac to your Android device. With QuickDrop+, you can also receive unlimited files from your Android device. QuickDrop+ is a cheap one-time purchase, and no subscription is required. QuickDrop+ contains all current and future features.

Ratings and Reviews
Super Fast File transfer
Set up was quick, Transferring files is quick, which saves a lot of time, plus it’s affordable.
Good, but..
It does what it ays its meant to do, its auper quick, which is great!.
BUT, I can't find a way to keep the details of the images because once they're sent you lose what date the photo was taken. If there was a way of keeping that, or renaming just before sending would be super!
Also, you need to "Accept" EVERY time you send, so you need to be AT your other device. WOuld be great to have a setting where you could allow exceptions.. images to be received automatically. For these two reasons I take away a star.
Developer Response ,
Hi there, thanks for your message. In which direction did your problems occur? Sending files from your phone, or sending files from your Mac? Feels free to send me an email, I’m happy to help.
Dodgy
theres something dodgy about this app - i installed it but then it wouldnt open, when i tried to remove it it kept saying it was open and i didnt have permission to delete it.
Developer Response ,
Hi there, that’s weird. The app most likely cannot be uninstalled because it is running (but not properly). Try to restart your computer, and then uninstall NearDrop.
If you want, you can also try to reinstall NearDrop afterward. The app should be shown in your menu bar. If you have further questions, feel free to send me an email.
