An AirDrop alternative for every device

AirDrop is great between Apple devices. LinkBoard works in any browser, so an iPhone, an Android phone, a Windows PC and a Linux laptop can share one room.

How to do it

  1. Create a room on one device.
  2. Scan the QR code with the other device – any brand, any system.
  3. Send photos, files, links or text.
  4. Download or copy them on the other side.

Works across platforms

LinkBoard runs in the browser, so it does not matter who made your devices. Send from an iPhone to a Windows PC, from Android to a Mac or between two Linux machines.

Nothing to install and no account – the room is ready the moment you open it.

What is different from AirDrop

AirDrop sends directly between nearby Apple devices, even offline. LinkBoard goes through the internet instead: both devices need a connection, but they can be in different rooms or different cities.

Files can have up to 100 MB each, and rooms delete themselves after 1 hour to 7 days. For large video files AirDrop or a cable is still the better choice.

Questions and answers

Does it work between iPhone and Windows?

Yes. Open the room in Safari on the iPhone and in any browser on the PC – files, photos and links go both ways.

Do the devices have to be close to each other?

No. They only need the internet. You can send something to your office PC from home.

Is it as fast as AirDrop?

Links, text and photos arrive almost instantly. Large files depend on your upload speed, because they travel through our server.

Is it free?

Yes. LinkBoard is free and needs no account or app.

Is it private?

Only people with the room link or code can open it. Turn on “Require password” for sensitive files; the room is deleted when it expires.
