Share multiple selected folders under one link and access code.
Mac folder-sharing app
Foldrop
Share folders with nearby devices, from your Mac to their browser.
Overview
What Foldrop is and why it exists.
Foldrop shares the folders you choose with nearby devices through an access-code-protected browser page. Guests can browse and download without installing an app, and you can allow uploads into a selected folder. Keep sharing from the macOS menu bar, add more folders without changing the invitation, and stop access when you are done. This local version uses a temporary HTTPS certificate: guests verify its fingerprint and continue through their browser’s certificate warning before entering the code. Both devices must use a local network that allows communication between them.
