File transfer FAQ: PC to iPhone, Android & more
Quick answers to the questions people ask most about moving files between phones and computers - and the simplest way to do each with DropAnything (free, no app, no sign-up).
Can I transfer files from PC to iPhone?
Yes. Open DropAnything on your PC, choose your files, and it shows a QR code + a 6-digit code. Open the same page on your iPhone, scan the QR (or type the code), and the files transfer directly - no iTunes, no cable, no app. Photos and videos save straight to your Photos app.
How do I share files from PC to iPhone wirelessly?
Use a browser-to-browser tool. With DropAnything, both devices just open the same web page and pair with a 6-digit code; the files then stream directly over your Wi-Fi. Nothing is installed and there's no size limit.
Can I transfer files from PC to iPhone without iTunes?
Yes - iTunes isn't needed at all. DropAnything runs in the browser, so you can send photos, videos, PDFs and more from a PC to an iPhone with no iTunes and no app.
How do I transfer files from PC to Android?
Same steps: open DropAnything on the PC and the Android phone, pair with the QR or 6-digit code, and the files come across. Photos and videos can be saved to your Android gallery; other files go to Downloads.
How do I send files from iPhone to Android (or the other way)?
DropAnything works in any direction - including iPhone ↔ Android, the combination AirDrop can't do. Both phones open the same page, pair, and transfer at full original quality.
Is there a free file transfer with no app and no sign-up?
Yes - DropAnything is free, needs no account, has no size limit, and needs no app on either device. Files go straight from one device to the other and are never stored on a server.
