In this post, I am going to talk about the Firefox add-on of the legendary file sharing tool, Snapdrop. Here this is a very nice alternative of Airdrop and works on almost all the major platforms. Here I will be talking about the Firefox add-on of Snapdrop that you can use to send and receive files through a popup.

To use Snapdrop on desktop, you usually have to visit the Snapdrop website to connect to lol devices. But with Snapdrop Firefox add-on, you will not have to leave the current tab for sending or receiving files. In a single click, you can activate it and send any file to your phone or any other device in the network.

You can start file transfer using the browser extension in 2 clicks and send or receive any file. However for now it is only available for Firefox and I hope the future versions will support Chrome browser as well.

For now, the extension is in development, so PC to phone transfer doesn’t work in popup mode. In order to transfer files or photos from PC to phone, you will have to go to the add-on settings page and then use the window or tab mode for PC to phone transfer and I hope it will be fixed in the later stable updates.
