The short answer
The browser can be the common layer
AirDrop is excellent inside Apple ecosystems. FCShare focuses on the mixed-device case where the sender and receiver already have a modern browser but may not share the same native transfer feature.
Smart Send adds one thing native cross-platform transfer tools often leave to the user: whether the selected photo or video is actually a good format for the receiving device.
How to do it
Three steps, in the browser.
- 1
Open Send or Receive
Either side can show the QR code.
- 2
Scan from the other device
No account pairing is required.
- 3
Transfer
Original files use the proven FCShare path; media recommendations appear only when relevant.
Best for
- iPhone to Windows
- Android to Windows
- Mac to Windows
- Guest devices
What stays intact
- No app install
- No login
- QR handoff
- Original file choice
Know before sending
- Not background device discovery
- Pages stay open
- Browser file-picker permissions apply
- TURN may relay traffic
Different from AirDrop
FCShare does not use Apple proximity discovery or Bluetooth negotiation. The QR/link establishes a temporary browser session instead.
Mixed-device compatibility
HEIC and HEVC are common examples where successful transfer and easy playback are different questions.
Questions people ask

Does it work from iPhone?
Current iPhone browsers can participate, subject to browser file picker and background limitations.
Is it always local-network only?
No. It can work across networks using WebRTC, including TURN fallback.
