Send files and folders up to 3 GB.
DROP is a browser-based file transfer service. Choose files or a folder, upload them and share one download link. Sending and receiving do not require an account. It is made for handing over photos, finished videos and documents, with interactive advertising backgrounds alongside the transfer controls.
How do I send a file?
- Choose Files or Folder from the plus button. Review the list and remove anything you did not intend to share. Folder selection depends on your browser; empty folders are not kept.
- Start the upload and keep this tab open until it finishes. The progress indicator follows the actual bytes sent. A share link becomes available only after the transfer is complete.
- Copy the link and send it to your recipient. They can preview supported formats, download individual originals, or choose Download all for one ZIP containing the files and their relative folder paths.
What are the transfer limits?
| Setting | Limit |
|---|---|
| Combined size | 3 GB · 3,000,000,000 bytes |
| Files per transfer | 1–1,000 |
| Anonymous retention | 24 hours from creation |
| Signed-in retention | 72 hours total from creation |
The expiry shown on your transfer is the deadline. At expiry the link stops working and background cleanup removes originals, previews and unfinished upload parts. Keep a separate backup of files you need later. Anyone holding a valid link can download before it expires, so share it only with intended recipients.
Questions about sharing
Do I need to register to send or download?
No DROP account is required for the basic transfer flow or for recipients to download a valid link. Verified Google sign-in is optional for extending the retention of your own upload, when sign-in is available.
How long does a link last?
Anonymous transfers expire 24 hours after creation. Before expiry, verified Google sign-in can extend an owned upload to 72 hours from its original creation, if sign-in is configured. It does not add 72 hours to the login time. Check the expiry shown on the transfer.
Can I send a folder without making a ZIP first?
Yes. Choose a folder in a browser that supports folder selection. DROP preserves relative file paths; recipients can download individual files or all files as one ZIP. Empty folders are not represented. The 3 GB and 1,000 file limits still apply.
Can recipients preview files?
Supported formats include common images, PDF, browser-playable video and audio, and text. Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OpenDocument previews rely on an available conversion service and have a 64 MiB original-file limit. Unsupported formats or codecs can be downloaded instead.
