How RunDrop Works & Frequently Asked Questions.

You can share any file type, including photos, videos, PDF documents, spreadsheets, presentations, music, apps, code files, and compressed folders. There are no restrictions on file extensions.

Yes! You can select or drag and drop multiple files at once. When you share multiple files, RunDrop automatically packs them into a single neat folder so the receiver can download everything together in one click.

Your upload will not be lost! RunDrop automatically saves your progress. As soon as your internet reconnects, the upload picks up right where it left off, so you do not have to restart from the beginning.

RunDrop includes a built-in code editor for 13+ popular languages like JavaScript, Python, and HTML. You can format your code with one click, run JavaScript and Python directly inside your browser to see output instantly, or open an interactive live preview drawer to test websites and HTML designs without installing any software or apps.

Yes! Anyone who opens your 8-character code or scans your QR code can view clean, easy-to-read code with line numbers. If it is a website design or script, they can open the live preview drawer and test it interactively right in their web browser.

If you and another person or device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you can open the Nearby Board to find each other automatically. You can send files, notes, or links directly between devices without emailing them, and you can add a simple PIN number so only the right person can connect.

Yes! Whenever you share something, a QR code appears on your screen. Just point your phone camera at the screen to open the transfer on your phone instantly, without typing long web addresses.

When you turn on Self-Destruct, your shared files or notes are permanently deleted the very first time the recipient opens or downloads them. You can also add a private password, meaning only people who know your password can unlock and view what you sent.

Files and notes are stored securely in temporary cloud storage. They are kept only for the time you choose (3 hours on the Free plan, or up to 7 full days on paid plans). Once the timer ends, our system permanently erases the files with zero trace left behind.

Yes! You can choose how many times your file can be downloaded (for example, 1, 5, or 10 times). As soon as that number of downloads is reached, access closes immediately, even if the expiration timer has not finished.

Yes! If you create a free account and share while signed in, all your active transfers appear in your personal Dashboard. You can view their status and permanently delete any transfer at any time with a single click.

Yes! Members on our Premium Pro and Ultra Max plans can pick their own custom 8-character codes using letters and numbers (like MYFILES1 or TEAM2026). Our system checks right away to make sure the code is available. Free guest shares receive secure random 8-character codes automatically.

Free Starter ($0) allows up to 250MB and 5 files per batch with 3-hour expiration and full in-browser code previews. Premium Pro ($2.99/mo) gives you 1GB per transfer, up to 50 files per batch, custom shortcodes, 7-day storage, and your personal Dashboard. Ultra Max ($5.49/mo) gives you our highest limit of 5GB per transfer, up to 100 files, fastest upload speeds, and priority help.

Go to the Receive page, type the 8-character code (or scan the sender's QR code with your phone camera), and tap Access Content. Your files, notes, or code will appear immediately on your screen for instant download or viewing.

A transfer becomes unavailable when its expiration timer has ended, or when it was set to Self-Destruct and has already been opened, or if the sender manually deleted it from their Dashboard. If this happens, please ask the sender to share a new code.
