No receiver install
They scan your QR and use their browser. That is the wedge.
The no-install receiver advantage
The absolute fastest way to get a file from your computer to their phone.
AirDrive Desktop turns your computer into a private local file drop. The receiver opens a QR link in their browser, downloads the file, and never has to install your app.

Scan to Connect
Scan the QR code on your PC to instantly download or upload files without any app install.
Why people buy it
The hard part is not sending. It is making receiving effortless.
AirDrive removes the one sentence that kills fast sharing: "Download this app first."
No cloud detour
Files move across the room, not through a storage account first.
Works when Wi-Fi is messy
Use the same network or a hotspot when there is no reliable internet.
Built for desktop habits
Drag files, share batches, receive uploads, and keep the flow on your PC.
The moment
You are next to someone. They need the file now.
Chat apps compress it. Cloud drives make you upload it. Bluetooth makes everyone wait. AirDrive is for the practical middle: your PC hosts the file locally, their browser receives it cleanly.
Lifetime plan
One Payment. Lifetime Freedom.
Forget monthly subscriptions and cloud storage limits. AirDrive runs 100% on your local network. You buy it once, you own it forever.

FAQ
Short answers, because the product should be obvious.
How do I connect to AirDrive?
You can connect in three ways:
1) Scan the QR code displayed on the desktop app,
2) Copy the URL and share it directly, or
3) Tap an NFC sticker (if you've set up your own).
Does the receiver need AirDrive?
No. The sender uses AirDrive Desktop. The receiver uses a browser.
Does this upload my files to the cloud?
No for normal transfers. Files move over the local network or hotspot.
Which browsers support NFC tag setup?
Programming/writing NFC tags directly from the web requires Google Chrome on Android. Safari, Firefox, Opera, and iOS devices do not support the WebNFC programming standard. Once programmed, tapping the NFC tag to connect works on all modern iOS and Android devices without any app installed.
Why lifetime instead of subscription?
This is a utility. The pricing should feel as direct as the product.
Which desktop platforms are supported?
Windows is available now. macOS and Linux are in the pipeline β early buyers get free access when those builds ship.
How does AirDrive compare to other transfer methods?
| Transfer Method | Setup Speed | Transfer Speed (Ref) | File Size Limit | Biggest Drawback |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AirDrive | < 3s (Scan & go) | 50 - 120 MB/s (Wi-Fi 6) | Unlimited | Requires same local network |
| Type-C Cable | Slow (Find cable, plug in) | 500 MB/s+ | Unlimited | Messy cables, loose connections |
| Telegram / Cloud | Very slow (Upload first) | 5 - 20 MB/s (Depends on internet) | Yes (e.g., 2GB limit) | Requires fast internet & size limits |
Will AirDrive receive future updates?
Yes. We have a clear roadmap for AirDriveβs future. Once we hit our targeted milestones, we will release new features to make your local file-sharing experience even better.
