ServeDrop
Share selected Android files directly with nearby devices. Use the same Wi-Fi for FTP or FTPS, or create a temporary phone hotspot with a browser portal—no receiver app and no CompuJohnny cloud required.
Choose how to connect
- Same Wi-Fi works with compatible FTP or FTPS clients.
- Phone hotspot creates a temporary local network and browser portal on Android 8.0 and newer.
- A real QR code and exact connection details make the handoff easier.
Share only what you choose
- Share all supported files, one Android-selected folder, or ServeDrop's app folder.
- Choose Read only, Download & add, or Full access for the receiver.
- Turn on a fresh six-digit code for a protected sharing session.
Understand the connection
Files stay on the local connection and are not routed through CompuJohnny servers. Standard FTP and the hotspot browser portal are not encrypted. FTPS is available for compatible FTP clients. Use ServeDrop with nearby people and networks you trust, then stop sharing when finished.
Free with optional Browser Pro
Same-Wi-Fi sharing is free. Three completed Phone-hotspot browser sessions are included. A one-time Browser Pro purchase unlocks future hotspot browser sessions. There are no ads or subscriptions.
