No cloudNo accountNo size limits
Getting a 4K video off your phone shouldn't need the cloud.
Cloud uploads are slow, compress your footage, and need an account. Cables are clumsy. MacDrop just moves the file across your Wi-Fi — full quality, nothing uploaded anywhere.
Features
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Built for big files
Multi-gigabyte videos stream straight to disk. No compression, no caps.
Stays on your network
Files go device-to-Mac over Wi-Fi. Nothing touches the cloud.
PIN-protected
A code gates access. Turn on HTTPS encryption if you want it.
See what's connected
A live device list and upload history, right in the menu bar.
Native & notarized
Signed, hardened, Gatekeeper-clean. Quietly lives in your menu bar.
