📦 LocalDrop — P2P File Transfer Over Your Local Network

Send files between devices on the same network — instantly, privately, and without a server.

✨ Features

• ⚡ Blazing fast — local network speeds, no upload/download caps
• 🔒 Fully private — WebRTC data channel, files never touch a server
• 🌐 Works everywhere — browser on any device, no app install needed
• 📱 QR code sharing — scan to connect instantly, no typing IPs
• 🎯 No sign-up — just open the page and share

🚀 Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/unn-known1/localdrop.git
cd localdrop
npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 — share the URL with devices on the same network.

🧩 How It Works

1. Open LocalDrop on both devices
2. Device A shares the session link (QR code or URL)
3. Device B opens it and connects via WebRTC
4. Drop files — they transfer directly peer-to-peer
