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.

Any device, any OS

Why every other tool needs caveats.

AirDrop is Apple-only. Nearby Share is Android-and-Windows-only. Snapdrop and PairDrop are browser-based but same-network-only. Send Anywhere and SHAREit work cross-platform but need apps. quik.space removes all the caveats: browser-only, cross-platform, cross-network. The only requirement is that both devices have internet.

FAQ

What's the best cross-platform AirDrop alternative?

Three contenders in 2026. (1) Snapdrop, PairDrop, HyperWave — all browser-based, but require both devices on the same Wi-Fi network. (2) Send Anywhere, SHAREit — both need apps installed. (3) quik.space — browser-only, no install, works over the public internet between any two devices anywhere. Pick (3) if either device is unfamiliar or you're not on the same network.

Can I AirDrop across long distance?

AirDrop itself is short-range (Bluetooth + peer-to-peer Wi-Fi). For long distance you need an over-the-internet service. quik.space is the most direct path: drop the file in one browser, open the link in another. The two devices can be on opposite sides of the planet.

Is there a similar AirDrop feature in Android?

Nearby Share is Android's equivalent — works between Android and Chromebook, and from Windows via the optional 'Nearby Share for Windows' install. Doesn't talk to iPhones, Macs, or iPads. quik.space crosses every OS without an install.

How do I transfer photos from phone to PC across platforms?

Open quik.space on the phone (any browser). Tap the screen, pick the photos, copy the link. Open the link in any browser on the PC. Click Download. Free for up to three photos at a time; pay $3 to lock up to 25 photos behind one passcode.
