About

Dropzone is a GNOME application for fast, temporary file sharing over the local network. Select a file to start an ephemeral HTTP server and generate a cryptographically random capability URL with a QR code. Any device on the same local network can scan the QR code and download the file directly in a web browser without installing additional software or creating accounts. Stopping sharing immediately stops the server and invalidates the link.
