AirDrop for Windows and Android: the browser alternative
AirDrop only works between Apple devices. OmniBeam gives you the same tap-and-send idea between any devices, because it runs in the web browser.
What you get
- Devices on the same Wi‑Fi find each other automatically, like AirDrop.
- Works between iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, Android, Linux and Chromebook.
- Files go directly from device to device and are encrypted end to end.
- No size limit for direct transfers, no account and nothing to install.
- Devices on different networks can pair once with a 6‑digit code.
AirDrop compared with OmniBeam
