About Dropzone
Dropzone is a GNOME application for fast, temporary file sharing over the local network.
Select a file to start an ephemeral HTTP server and generate a cryptographically random capability URL with a QR code. Any device on the same local network can scan the QR code and download the file directly in a web browser without installing additional software or creating accounts.
Stopping sharing immediately stops the server and invalidates the link.
How to install Dropzone
- Click Download — the developer's official website opens in a new tab.
- Download the latest version there and run it. Choose Custom/Advanced where offered, and skip any bundled extras.
- Prefer the command line? With Flatpak you can install and update it with: flatpak install flathub io.github.dragonGR.Dropzone
- Open Dropzone once it finishes installing.
