Snapdrop is a free P2P file sharing website. It lets you share any type of file with any nearby device connected with the same network. No matter whether you are using Android, PC, or any other device, you can share images, video, documents, EXE, audio, and other types of files instantly. Only one file at a time can be shared with the connected device.
The website is handy for organizations or groups where file sharing is a regular process. Instead of using USB flash drives or sending emails to share data with each other, you can use this website that requires no expertise.
Yes, the website is not helpful to share files when devices are on different networks (you will require some other similar websites for that task), but surely good to share files when devices are on the same network. Your files are not stored anywhere and the complete transfer process takes place between sender and receiver devices.
The screenshot above shows the file sharing process between PC and Android.
