Description
Thawdrop shares files and folders straight from your computer with a link or QR code. Nothing is uploaded and nothing sits on a server, so there's no size limit. The receiver only needs a browser: they see the file list and download just the files they pick. Add a password (encrypted before sharing), an expiry time or a download limit. Desktop app for macOS and Windows. Open source under MIT.
