Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install an app on my phone or laptop?

No. PasteDrop works directly in the browser on both devices.

What kinds of files can I send?

Common use cases include images, PDFs, screenshots, and other small supported files.

Is this better than emailing myself a file?

For one-off transfers, usually yes, because there is no inbox, attachment flow, or login step.

Can I connect with a QR code?

Yes. That is often the fastest way to join from a phone.

Is PasteDrop for permanent file storage?

No. It is designed for instant transfer, not long-term storage.
