An AirDrop Alternative for Folder Sharing
When a quick one-off send isn't enough
AirDrop is great for sending a file or two to a nearby Apple device. LoopStream is an AirDrop alternative for when you want a whole folder to stay available across your devices over Wi-Fi — with no cloud upload and no account — plus browsing on Apple TV and optional encrypted remote access with Pro.
Why use LoopStream instead of only AirDrop
- Share a whole folder that stays available — not just a single send.
- Browse and stream that folder's media on Apple TV.
- Pair once with PIN or QR and reconnect as a trusted device.
- No cloud upload and no account for local Wi-Fi sharing.
- Reach the same folder remotely over an encrypted relay with LoopStream Pro.
How it works
- Pick one folder to share on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
- Connect your devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Scan the QR code or enter the PIN to pair.
- Browse, download, and upload — sandboxed to that one folder.
AirDrop stays perfect for quick handoffs. Use LoopStream when the same folder needs to be reachable again and again, across more of your devices. Available now on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch; Windows, Linux, and Android coming soon.
