Cross-platform sharing
An AirDrop alternative for mixed devices.
Move a file between Windows, Android, iPhone, Mac, or Linux with one browser workflow. It is a practical one-time alternative, not a clone of Apple’s nearby-sharing interface.

The short answer
When AirDrop cannot cover the device pair
AirDrop is built for Apple devices. FCShare covers mixed pairs by using browser standards instead: create a room, scan or open the link, and keep both endpoints present while the file moves. It works across distance as well as across a room when WebRTC can establish a route.
You give up operating-system discovery, contact integration, and background convenience. In return, neither person needs to install the same app or sign into a shared ecosystem for a one-off transfer.
How to do it
Three steps, in the browser.
- 1
Open the tool on one device
Choose Send or Receive according to where the file starts.
- 2
Join from the other platform
Scan the code or open the link in any current browser.
- 3
Approve and keep both open
Accept the file and wait until both sides report completion.
Best for
- iPhone to Windows
- Android to Mac
- Windows to iPad
- Linux to phone
What stays intact
- Cross-platform access
- Original file bytes
- No shared account
- Works beyond nearby range
Know before sending
- No automatic nearby discovery
- No background OS integration
- Internet/signalling required
- Live pages required
FCShare versus nearby tools
Use Quick Share, AirDrop, or LocalSend when you transfer repeatedly within their supported ecosystem and want device discovery. Use FCShare when platforms differ, installation is undesirable, or the other person is remote.
Same room or another country
The room-link workflow is the same at any distance. A local path can be faster when devices share a network; remote performance depends on both connections and may require TURN on restrictive networks.
Questions people ask
Is this AirDrop for Windows?
It solves a similar one-time file handoff, but it is not Apple AirDrop and does not provide native nearby discovery or OS integration.
Can it send from iPhone to Android?
Yes, if both browsers support the required WebRTC features and stay active.
Do both devices need the same Wi-Fi?
No. Sharing a network can enable a local route, but internet-separated devices can connect too.
