Yes. Up to 100 MB per file and up to 3 files per request are free. Files expire in 72 hours unless you pay $2 to extend by 30 days, or pay to group them into a 30-day space for $5.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Anonymous use is the default. You can optionally attach your email so you can recover files later if you lose the share link.

How long do files last?

Free files expire in 72 hours. After that there is a 7-day grace period during which a $2 extend will bring the file back for 30 more days. After the grace period the storage is permanently purged.

Can AI agents use quik.space?

Yes. quik.space exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and accepts the x402 standard for stablecoin micropayments on Base. Agents do not need API keys or signup — their wallet is their identity.

What file types are supported?

Any file up to 5 GB. The recipient page renders inline previews for images, audio, video, PDFs, markdown, HTML (sandboxed), Microsoft Office docs, and plain text or code.

Cross-platform sharing

The AirDrop alternative that works on every device.

Drop a file in a browser. Get a link. Open it on any other device. Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, Chromebook, Linux — all treated the same. No app, no signup, no Apple ID, no local-network pairing.

Why most AirDrop alternatives fall short.

Apple AirDrop only works between Apple devices on the same network. Microsoft Nearby Share works Windows-to-Windows or Windows-to-Android, locally. Snapdrop, PairDrop, HyperWave, and LocalSend run in a browser but still need both devices on the same Wi-Fi to discover each other. Send Anywhere and Snapdrop-style apps need an install on both ends.

quik.space drops the local-network constraint by going over the public internet. Drop the file in Brooklyn, open the link in Berlin. Same flow for every pair of devices.

Pick your platform.

Send to non-Apple devices: a friend on Windows, a colleague on Chromebook, a phone on Android.

Cross-platform

Any device to any device. Works over the public internet, not just local Wi-Fi.

FAQ

Is there a Windows equivalent to AirDrop?

Windows has 'Nearby Share' between Windows devices and Android, but no built-in way to receive files from an iPhone or share with a Mac. quik.space fills that gap from the browser: drop a file on quik.space on your iPhone, copy the link, paste it on the Windows machine, download. No app, no account, no Apple ID required on either side.

Does Windows have something like AirDrop?

Not natively. Microsoft's Nearby Sharing works Windows-to-Windows and Windows-to-Android over local Wi-Fi only. quik.space is the cross-platform path — it works between Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, Chromebook, and Linux, over any connection, without local-network discovery.

What is the best cross-platform AirDrop alternative?

There are three serious choices in 2026: quik.space (browser, no app, no signup, free up to 100 MB), Snapdrop / PairDrop / HyperWave (browser, same-network only — no NAT/WAN), and Send Anywhere (apps required on both ends). quik.space is the only option that works between any two devices anywhere with internet, without an app on either side.

How do I share files from iPhone to Windows?

Open quik.space in Safari on your iPhone, drop the file, hit copy on the share link. Open the link on your Windows machine in any browser, hit Download. The link is good for 72 hours by default. Pay $1 to lock it with a passcode if you don't want anyone who has the URL to grab the file.

How do I share files from Android to Mac?

Same flow as iPhone-to-Windows: drop the file on quik.space in Chrome on Android, copy the link, open it in Safari on the Mac, download. AirDrop only works between Apple devices; quik.space treats every operating system the same.

Are there AirDrop alternatives for large files?

Yes. quik.space accepts files up to 5 GB for $5 (single XL upload), 100 MB to 500 MB for $1, and bulk uploads of up to 25 small files for $2. AirDrop has no fixed size cap, but it only works between Apple devices on the same local network; quik.space works anywhere with an internet connection.

Are there free AirDrop apps for PC?

There are several. Snapdrop, PairDrop, and HyperWave run in a browser but require both devices on the same local network. ShareDrop and LocalSend are similar. quik.space is different by design — it goes over the public internet, so you can send to a friend on the other side of the country, not just a phone on the same Wi-Fi.

Is quik.space safer than AirDrop for sensitive files?

Yes for two reasons. First, you can lock the file with a passcode (the link alone is useless without it). Second, the file disappears at expiry — by default 72 hours, or 7 days when locked. AirDrop transmits in the clear over Wi-Fi/Bluetooth between devices that mutually trust each other; quik.space transports over HTTPS and never trains AI on your files.

No app. No signup. No Apple ID.

Drop a file in any browser. Open it on any other device.
