Deploy PairDrop in one click installation.
Browser-based AirDrop alternative for instant peer-to-peer file transfers between any devices on your network, no app installation required.
What you can build with PairDrop
PairDrop is a modern, web-based file sharing platform that brings AirDrop-style transfers to every device and operating system. Using WebRTC technology, files travel directly from sender to recipient without touching the server — the VPS only coordinates the connection. Open the web interface on any device, see who else is on the network, and send files with a single click. No accounts, no apps, no size limits.
Self-hosting PairDrop gives your home or office a permanent, always-accessible file sharing hub protected by HTTPS through Traefik. Files never pass through third-party storage, transfers run at full local network speeds, and the self-hosted approach means no per-file or bandwidth costs regardless of how much your team shares.
Key features of PairDrop
Peer-to-Peer via WebRTC
Files transfer directly between devices at full network speed — the server only brokers the connection, so your data never sits in intermediate storage.
No Installation Needed
Works in any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android — users just visit the URL and start sharing immediately.
Automatic Device Discovery
Devices on the same network appear automatically in the interface, making it easy to select a recipient without typing addresses or pairing codes.
No File Limits
PairDrop imposes no file size restrictions or type filters, so you can share anything from small text snippets to large video files without workarounds.
QR Code Pairing
Scan a QR code to connect mobile devices instantly, eliminating the need to type network addresses when sharing between phones and computers.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
