An AirDrop alternative that works everywhere
AirDrop only works between Apple devices. CopyBoard works between any two devices with a browser — Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, Linux, ChromeOS.
Why do you need an AirDrop alternative?
AirDrop is Apple-only. If you have an iPhone and a Windows PC, or an Android phone and a Mac, AirDrop simply does not work. CopyBoard fills that gap.
How it works in 3 steps
- Open copyboard.cloud in a browser on device A. Create a clipboard.
- Drop your files, or type/paste text.
- Show the QR code, or share the link with device B. Same board opens.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it truly free?
- Yes, the basic experience is free with no ads.
- Do both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi?
- No. CopyBoard works over the internet, so devices in different rooms — or different countries — can share the same board.
- How do I make sure nobody else can access my board?
- The code is a random 8-character string. Only people you give it to can open the board.
