How it works

Send files without internet.

Maotaw Drop is made for local nearby sharing. Phones can connect directly when they are close. When possible, nearby devices can also help relay the connection to extend the range, so files can travel further without using a cloud server.

Offline nearby

Share files phone-to-phone without mobile data, Wi-Fi internet, or cloud upload.

Relay when possible

With permission, nearby devices can help pass data forward to improve range in crowded places.

No cloud server

Files are chosen by the sender and accepted by the receiver. They are not uploaded to Maotaw servers.

Are my files uploaded to Maotaw servers?

No. Files are selected by the sender and accepted by the receiver. The goal is direct nearby transfer, not cloud storage.

What does relay mean?

Relay means nearby devices can help extend the range when possible. This can help files travel further between close groups of devices.

Is Windows available?

Not yet. Android is the first target. Windows support is planned later, so the Windows button is disabled for now.
