FileShipper moves files between your computers and phones over local Wi-Fi - no cloud, no accounts, and no app to install on your phone. Open it, tap a device, and the files are on their way.
Nearby computers running FileShipper and any connected phones show up on an AirDrop-style radar - tap one to send. Phones join by scanning a QR code, which opens a plain web page for sending and receiving. Files go straight from device to device over your network and never touch the internet.
Highlights
- AirDrop-style radar - nearby computers and connected phones appear as bubbles around you. Tap one, pick your files, done - no menus to dig through.
- Phones need no app - scan the QR code (or type the address) and a browser page lets any iPhone or Android send files to your computer and grab files back.
- Computers find each other - Macs and PCs running FileShipper on the same Wi-Fi discover each other automatically and land on the radar, ready to send.
- Stays on your network - transfers go directly between devices over the LAN. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so it's private and fast even for large files.
- Public files for everyone - drop files into a shared pool and anyone who has joined the network can download them; phones and other computers can add to it too.
- Open or PIN-protected - leave it open on your home network, or require a PIN so only the people you trust can connect on shared Wi-Fi.
- Choose where files land - pick any folder for received files and see everything that came in under Received Files, each with one-click Reveal in Finder or Explorer.
- Follows your Wi-Fi - switch networks and the address and QR code refresh themselves, so devices keep finding you without a restart.
- Light & dark - a clean, native-feeling interface that follows your taste.
How it works
Open FileShipper and your computer sits at the centre of a radar showing nearby devices. To pull a file from your phone, scan the QR code - a web page opens where you can send files to the computer or download anything it's sharing. Received files land in the folder you picked and show up under Received Files, ready to reveal in Finder or Explorer.
To move files between two computers, just run FileShipper on both. They discover each other on the network and appear on each other's radar - tap one, choose your files, and they're on their way. Everything happens over your local Wi-Fi; nothing touches the cloud.
Perfect for
- Phone to computer - get photos and videos off your phone without cables, AirDrop, or messaging them to yourself.
- Mac and Windows together - move files across platforms that don't share AirDrop, on the same network.
- Big files, no waiting - send multi-gigabyte videos or projects at full LAN speed instead of uploading and re-downloading.
- Sharing with guests - hand a file to a friend's phone on your Wi-Fi without setting up accounts or installing anything.
- Privacy-first transfers - keep sensitive files off third-party clouds; they never leave your local network.
