SyncDrop
Guangzhou, Guangdong, China
What it is
SyncDrop moves files, synchronizes clipboards, and backs up photos between devices and private storage. It runs on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, the web, and as an extension. Its free Windows and Mac companion app supports drag-and-drop transfers and detects devices on local Wi-Fi. A browser on Windows, Mac, or Linux can browse, upload, and download media over Wi-Fi. For direct backup and media access, SyncDrop supports SFTP, SMB, WebDAV, and S3-compatible storage, with listed services including Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Photos, S3, MinIO, and Cloudflare. Automated photo and video transfers can start from Wi-Fi, geofencing, charging, or newly added photos. Mobile, external-drive, and NAS backup are supported, along with RAW photos and bring-your-own storage. TCP transfers use MD5 checksums, while listed peer-to-peer transfers use TLS 1.3 without a central server or account requirement. Premium costs $1.99 monthly, $9.99 yearly, or $24.99 lifetime.
