A shared folder that shows up on every device in the room.

Run one .exe. LanDrop creates shared_files next to itself, serves a simple web page on your LAN, and logs every upload, download, and Explorer change in a console window.

Get landrop.exe Source on GitHub

Drop from a phone

Open the Network URL from the console. Drag files into the page or tap Upload. They land in the Windows folder immediately.

Grab what is already there

The page lists every file in shared_files. Download links stream from the PC that is running LanDrop.

Explorer stays in sync

Copy or delete files in Windows. The web UI refreshes over Server-Sent Events (with a short poll fallback).

How it works

Double-click landrop.exe anywhere — USB stick, desktop, Downloads.
Allow inbound TCP 8080 if Windows Firewall asks.
Use http://127.0.0.1:8080/ on that PC, or the printed LAN address on other devices.
Keep the console open. Ctrl+C stops the server.

LanDrop has no password in v0.1. Anyone on the same network can read and write the folder. Use it on networks you trust.

Docs

Port: Default 8080. Override with -port or LANDROP_PORT.
Bind: Default 0.0.0.0 so phones can connect. -bind 127.0.0.1 limits to this PC.
Folder: shared_files is created beside the executable. LANDROP_DIR overrides the parent directory.
Limits: Flat folder only (no nested UI). Uploads up to about 2 GB. HTTP only, not HTTPS.
