Transfer files without a cable โ any device, any OS
Cables are annoying. Bluetooth is slow. Cloud drives want an account. Here is the fastest way to move a file between two devices using only a browser.
What you need
A modern browser on each device. That is it. No USB-C cable, no lightning cable, no OTG adapter, no login.
Step-by-step
- On device A, open
copyboard.cloudand tap Create Clipboard. - Drop the files onto the board (drag & drop on desktop, or tap ๏ผ Add โ File on mobile).
- Tap ๐ Share to reveal a QR code, a link, and a short 8-character code.
- On device B, scan the QR โ or type the code on copyboard.cloud.
- Same board opens. Tap any file and choose Download.
What types of files can I transfer?
Any type โ images (JPG, PNG, HEIC, WEBP), videos (MP4, MOV, WEBM), documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX), archives (ZIP, RAR), installers (APK, DMG, EXE), source code, everything.
Size limit
Up to 1 GB per file, and 1 GB in total per board โ drop as many files as fit.
Is it faster than USB?
For a photo or PDF, yes โ you save the time of finding the cable, plugging it in, unlocking the phone, and finding the file in the phone's explorer. For multi-gigabyte transfers, a cable is still faster.
