Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about using Drops.
Does LAN mode require Internet?
No. LAN mode transfers purely within your local network; you only need devices connected to the same Wi-Fi or router.
Does Internet mode store my files on a server?
LAN: No. Data travels directly between your devices and never touches our servers.
Internet (Relay): Only temporarily. Data is encrypted and cached in chunks for the duration of the transfer to facilitate the connection. Once the transfer is complete, canceled, or the session expires, the backend purges all data — files are not kept for long-term storage.
Why does Android ask for "All files access"?
To allow selecting and saving any file type (not just media). Detailed info is in our Privacy Policy.
